   Good one, Erwin. I knew that someone here would have the answer. Apparently these were made as Cracker Jack and Gumball prizes. It also appears that they originally sold as a bag set of “100 Cowboys and Indians” and were available through comic books.

   These are a nice addition to my Marx Romper Room Davy Crockett set.
   I was never a flats fan, but these are just so cool.
   Who didn’t open the Cracker Jacks box from the bottom to get the prize out first?

   NOSCO made them and I had them in a 100 piece small box. It is thought that NOSCO made most of the flat comic book offers for the people who sold them. Usually marked on top of the base.

     Herschel Lewis (yes the producer of 1000 Maniacs and others) wrote in his book on mail order atated that he had found the company that had done the Cracker Jack prizes which he the used to make his army figures.
