Lots of people call these Crackerjack Prizes, which they may have been. They are anywhere from 1 1/2" to 2" long each. There were 23 different pieces to the series, I only have a few of them. Most people think of them as Monopoly pieces as well, which some were used for that

I have a couple of cars from the Midget Series, the delivery van and the desoto airflow sedan. When I got them they were individually in their own small cardboard box. I do not think they originally came in these boxes from the cracker jack box. Do you know how they were packaged in the cracker jack box?

:confused:

I'm not sure how they were packaged in a Crackjacks box, you'd have to talk to a CrackerJacks collector for that. As for in stores these either came as sets in a cardboard box, or you could buy them in bulk. I've seen a gross of planes for sale on ebay before. Not sure what you'd do with that many though.
