It looks earlier than 1950s to me, anyway there's one that was on eBay and is now on Pinterest, identified as a 1930s Cracker Jack toboggan

I need help identifying an old toy of mine from the 50's. It's not for sale, my mother recently passed and going through some of her personal effects I found one of my old toys she kept. I have no idea what it is other than the obvious. It has no markings I can find whatsoever and is approx 1-7/8" long by 1" wide. The characters look like they are dressed up in the old Cracker Jack costumes, but I could not find anything out from that angle. They are riding what appears to be a sled. The toy itself appears to be pressed tin or metal with metal wheels. I am running out of guesses. Any help in identifying would be greatly appreciated.

Ive seen similar colour schemes on old christmas elf table cloths my mom had. I believe theyre elves and thats indeed a sled.


My point being i think its christmas related if it helps any id guy here... Other than that ive got no idea what that is who made it...

Thats it exactly.  Thank you so much. I guess I was just looking in the wrong decade. This must have been hers and she passed it to me. Now it's completely priceless. I cant thank you enough for this information, you have made my day.
