This jig saw puzzle prize is made up of five cardboard pages, approximately 1 1/2" square, joined at the top by adhesive. The prize includes the cover illustration of the completed puzzle and four additional pages containing two puzzle pieces each and one fourth of the puzzle frame. The completed eight-piece puzzle is about 3" square when completed.

This picture puzzle prize is from one of the most elusive Cracker Jack prize series of the last half of the twentieth century. While the exact year of its distribution is not known, it pre-dates the 1964 purchase of Cracker Jack by Borden, since the prize is marked "The Cracker Jack Company" on the inside cover. (The Cracker Jack Company was the name of the business before the change in ownership occurred.)

At least twenty-two additional puzzles are known in this series. Sixteen of them are part of the Cracker Jack Company archive collection of the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio. They are pictured in Cracker Jack Collectibles, page 31, though they are only vaguely described as "little booklets." Most of the puzzles are pictures of comic animal characters, such as a clothed hippo on roller skates and an elephant on water skis; but there is also a more realistic bull and matador puzzle, as well as one of a native American paddling a canoe and one of wild ducks in flight. All of the puzzles have an identical yellow border.

Twenty-three prizes would be a very unusual total for a Cracker Jack prize series. Many Cracker Jack series have 24 items, so maybe there is at least one more of these prizes to be discovered.
