Hi DG,
Thank you for visiting our website

Guess what! Your mother-in-law is right. But, of course, mother-in-laws are always right.

Her favorite childhood toy was, indeed, a Cracker Jack prize. The little dial-a-face toys were put in Cracker Jack boxes in the 1960's. Please see the scan below. This owl is from my collection and as you can see it is green. However, your mother-in-law's could have been another color. We Cracker Jack collectors are thrilled that she remembers it as a "favorite toy."
Thank you again for contacting us and please visit our website again.
Best wishes,
Diane
