From the box: “Enesco Treasury of Christmas Ornaments. Our
goal was to create a collection of ornaments as special as Christmas itself.
Some are reverent, other nostalgic and some are outrageously humorous. Designed
in a moldable poly material we call Artplas, each is hand-painted and crafted
to uncompromising standards. In addition to preserving every fine detail, it is
also durable. The ornaments you choose this year will bring joy to
generations.”
Sailor Jack and his lovable dog Bingo began appearing on Cracker Jack boxes in 1918. His image has become so well-known that the sailor uniform with the back flap and neckerchief is commonly referred to as the "Cracker Jack uniform" by the US Navy.
This adorable plastic ornament features your favorite sweet
snack spokesman, Sailor Jack himself, emerging from a porthole at the top of a
box of Cracker Jack. He’s wearing his traditional blue sailor suit and white
hat, and he salutes with a merry smile on his face.
He’s decorating his box with a string of tiny lights and
toys – many of them were probably surprises from boxes just like his own! A
tiny Christmas tree, reindeer, sleigh, Santa Claus figure, diamond ring,
sheriff’s badge, and more make this the most festive Cracker Jack box this
holiday!
A small loop of gold thread is anchored to a gold hoop at the back of Sailor Jack’s hat for ease of hanging.
The top of the ornament slides away to reveal a compartment within. Inside that compartment is another miniature ornament - Sailor Jack's little white dog, Bingo. Bingo holds a diamond ring in his mouth, offering the prize from inside the box to you this holiday season! This ornament is only 0.75" tall - it's adorable!
The ornament set is beautifully painted, with incredible detail
and craftsmanship. What a perfect way to bring a childhood icon to your home!
