On this day in 1912 Cracker Jack started inserting toy surprises in their boxes.
At first small metal objects that seems insane in this modern safety conscious era but they evolved to baseball cards, other metal and plastic toys and beyond as the years went on.
One of my favorite dug finds ever was a tiny little tank that I believe was a Cracker Jack hidden treasure from the early part of the last century.
I wonder how many of us got their first treasure hunting experience looking for that prize and if it made such an impression we eventually got into this hobby?

That tank and compass are neat! Once I found a couple of aluminum Presidential tokens at an old farmhouse that were marked "Cracker Jack" but were pretty eaten up from the soil.
