During the early 1960's, many Cracker Jack prizes were novelties with multiple pieces to either assemble or break apart to create toys or games.  Referred to as prizes to assemble, snap-togethers, put-togethers, and break-aparts, these prizes were short-lived; the little pieces and complexity of assembly proved to be too challenging for tiny fingers and therefore did not meet Cracker Jack's "immediate playability" goal.  Today, of course, the small parts would not pass the strict government child protection standards for preventing choking.

The plastic lamb and lion shown above are examples of this type of prize and are called "slotties," so named because each of the pieces has molded slots for fitting the pieces together.

The lamb is approximately 1 1/4 inches tall and the lion is about 2 inches wide; both have an illustration on the right side of their bodies showing how the prizes should look once assembled (see lion).  The prizes are not marked "Cracker Jack."

These 1964 farm animal and wild animal slotties were created by John Walworth for the Gold Premium Company, according to A Surprise Inside! The Work and Wizardry of John Walworth.  Other slotties include a bear, a camel, a cow, an elephant, a giraffe, a hippo, a kangaroo, and a pig.  In addition to the butterscotch and metallic rust colors shown, the slotties also can be found in light blue, peach, pink, white, and yellow.
