As a child during the 50's I started collecting the discarded Cracker Jack toys that my brothers left behind, as well as my favorite prizes from my favorite snack. This continued until about ten years ago when I went back to school.

All this time, I have kept my collection in a wooden box. One or two have been broken by potential boyfriends who never made the grade, I also will offer those for people who might be missing parts.

there are lots more, including some moving toys, but I want to be certain people are interested before I take a lot of pictures.

There are three that I would like to keep - but these need to be cherished and to see the light of day occasionally.

Probably the best way to sell your collection would be to list it on eBay. I would group the prizes into lots of 20 or so, then post each lot separately. Several of us do that selling off duplicates we might have. If you don't have eBay experience yourself, ask your friends, it's very easy to do. Pictues are important. You might want to get on eBay, and search "cracker jack" you will find lots of listings. Some are over priced, many are not cracker jack, but sounds like since you collected them yourself, you will know which are truly CJ. There are plenty of collectors for other types of small prizes also.

thank you, i will do the ebay thing. I did hear from one of your members interested in moving plastic CJ toys, which I do have a few of. They have wheels and the heads bob up and down. I also have some springy ones where a figure is catapulted into the air.

Yes, I collected them all myself.

Thanks again for the advice.
