This small 1930’s Cracker Jacks Tin Litho Bulldog Bookmark is a collectible item from the early 20th century. Cracker Jacks, a popular snack consisting of caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts, has a long history and is well-known for including small toys and prizes inside their packages as a marketing tactic.
The tin litho bulldog bookmark is an example of one such toy distributed during the 1930s. It features a small bulldog figurine made of tin lithography, which is a printing technique that involves applying colored designs to tinplate. The bookmark design typically includes a slit or hole in the bulldog’s back, allowing it to be inserted into the pages of a book to mark the reader’s place.
