Interested in learning more about the date of this one I found in an attic of an old home upon purchase. I found several others as well. I am posting those to separately.

These thin tin badges were Crackerjack prizes. The tin to make these badges was from scrap metal purchased from Ball Brothers jar company. When Ball made fruit jar lids the round disk stamped out of the center was the used by Crackerjack to manufacture these tin badges. Ball didn't like this and increased the price of the scrap thus ending the production of these neat badges.
