Vintage 1950s-60s Green Celluloid Camel Charm - Rare Penny Toy/Cracker Jack Prize
A charming little piece of mid-century Americana — this green celluloid camel charm dates to the 1950s–60s, when tiny plastic figures like this were dispensed from gumball machines or tucked inside boxes of Cracker Jack as a prize. It measures about the size of a US penny (shown alongside a cent for scale) and features a molded loop at the top for hanging on a bracelet, necklace, or keychain.
Found in a large lot that sat in storage for over 35 years, the charm remains in good vintage condition with no visible damage and bright, cheerful color. These little penny toys are increasingly hard to find in nice shape, making them favorites among charm collectors, crafters, and lovers of retro novelty toys.
