Description: | These party crackers were bought by Ernest King on 22 December 1906. Between 1893 and 1918 he collected over 1,700 penny toys and novelties, many of which were sold as Christmas decorations or party gifts. The crackers would have been sold as a set and each contains a folded paper hat and a printed motto. Unlike the handmade, expensive crackers available in London's department stores, these would have been bought by poorer families who also wished to take part in the traditions of an Edwardian Christmas. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Home and Family | Temporal: | 1906 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
