C. Carey Cloud » Cracker Jack » Litho Nodding Head Animals


C. Carey Cloud created the Litho Nodding Heal Animals for Cracker Jack in the late 1930's. The body of the nodding head animals is a single piece of tin, folded in half. The head is a separate piece of tin, that rocks back and forth on the body. A simple tap is all that is needed to get the head to rock.

There are four different Litho Nodding Heal Animals, a goat, a rhino, an elephant, and a leopard.

Looking at the nodding head goat, and the nodding head rhino, from behind. Notice the body is a single piece of tin, folded in half. The head is a separate piece of tin, that rocks back and forth when it's touched.
