US Paratrooper
In 1943,
C. Carey Cloud created a series of ten different military themed toys for
Cracker Jack. This prize,
US Paratrooper, is printed on tri-fold card stock measuring 8" long, 1⅞" high, printed with red and green ink. The
paratrooper and the base, are removed from the card where perforated. With a couple of folds, and the insertion of two tabs into two slots, the prize is quickly assembled for hours of fun.
