Below is, first, the lid of the box of "G. Spargnapane Co's Japanese Crackers" (possibly from the 1890s or early 1900s) and, below that, a sample of the box's contents: crackers in bright paper, and little dolls and a parasol which were part of the treats inside. It seems evident that the box and contents were prepared and the seller added the company name at the point of sale.

The box lid  shows a little Japanese girl and her mother (probably, though the hairdo suggests a misunderstanding of the hairdo of the Kabuki actors who portray women, wearing a little cap on the front of the head). The girl holds a male doll with arms straight out, like the male doll in a tachibina pair, and dolls of this type decorate the four corners of the box lid.Across the top and bottom there is a procession of children (repeated a total of 4 times), while down the sides there are groups of 3 standing ladies or lady dolls.

The crackers (probably a dozen in the original box) are wrapped in a variety of papers, one of which (left below) has a Japanese motif. Pasted on the front of each one is a small die-cut image of an Oriental person; some of these are clearly Japanese, while others appear to be Chinese or an amalgam. The little dolls and the parasol are examples of the contents.
