Bonzo Bank
This vintage bank is easy to date. It is a type of tin bank
that is no longer popular, and the dog decorating the front
was a comic cartoon star from the 1920s to the 1940s. This
is the first famous Bonzo.
A live dog by that name became famous in the movies
years later. Bonzo was first pictured in a British comic strip
in 1922, but the bank was made in Germany by Saalheimer
& Strauss. The company made toys, especially cars and
motorcycles, until it was bought in 1936. The toys had an
oval mark with two overlapping S letters on top of the word
Success. There are two similar versions of the bank; a poem
explaining how to deposit money is on the front of one type
but not on the other.
Bertoia Auctions sold this mechanical bank for $1,800.

Q: Is an embossed metal Cracker Jack button stud worth
anything? It has Sailor Jack, little dog Bingo and “Me for
Crackerjack” on the front. It’s about 1-inch high and 3/4-
inch wide.
A: Frederick Rueckheim began selling popcorn in 1871.
He and his brother, Louis, sold a mixture of popcorn, peanuts
and molasses at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.
Louis copyrighted the recipe and the slogan, “The more
you eat, the more you want,” in 1896. Coupons for prizes
were added to the boxes in 1910. Sales increased dramatically
after small prizes for children were included in the
boxes beginning in 1912. Frederick’s grandson was the
model for Sailor Jack, which was first used in advertisements
in 1916. The first boxes with Sailor Jack were produced
in 1918.
Cracker Jack prizes are collectible, especially the old
metal ones. Prizes were eliminated in 2016 and replaced by
a game that can be played by scanning a URL code. A button
stud like yours sold recently for $56. Cracker Jack is
now part of Frito Lay.

white pillowcase. Plastic holds moisture and the fabrics
should breathe.

PET OF THE WEEK
Mo-mo is a handsome, older gentleman
who came to us as he seeks an indoor/
outdoor home to call his own. He was
originally adopted with another feline
into a home but is a pro of sneaking
outside and the location was too busy.
He is new to our adoption center so we
are still getting to know him, but so far,
he is very sweet and is doing fine with a
feline roommate!
All adoptions are done by a phone
appointment only (no one is allowed
in the building). Contact an adoption
counselor to set up an appointment
at 802-476-3811 or emailing
