who didn't like barnum's animal crackers in childhood? in their nifty little boxes or out of an old-fashioned tin like this one ~
this vintage tin has the old style animals ~
from 1979 ~
& another national biscuit company cookie tin from 1982 ~
this time for zuzu ginger snaps ~
& here's an 85th anniversary tin ~
already vintage from 1987 ~
it holds 3 boxes of crackers ~
with trivia underneath ~
one more tin ~
this time a pail ~
from 1990 ~
my grandfather used to drive a truck for nabisco (then it was still called the national biscuit company) here in portland ~
several assorted vintage varieties of boxes including loony toons & holiday boxes ~
some limited edition boxes ~
there was even a barnum's animal crackers game made by fisher price ~
i even used a box in one of my drawings which features some vintage toys & is titled 'that chick can sing!' ~
ghost & toxic
