The German school Zuckertüte goodie cones in the 1920s were fairly standard in shape and decoration. They were all cone shape. The decorations included images of happy children. They do vary in size. There seem to have been three popular sizes. We see large cones as large as the children themselves. There were also medium-sized cones about half as high as the children. And finally there were smaller cones about a quater the heighth of the children. The medium cones seem to have been the most common. They contained candy treas, small toys, and school supplies. Unfortunately almost all of the portraits are of the children with their cones before the children get inside to enjoy their goodies. Apparently the children took the cones to school and did not get to open them until after school. We would love to see a photograph of the children taking the items out of the cones so we can see what was inside. German parents seem to only wanted a portrait of the children with the cones before they were opened or perhaps after they were opened. But the idea seems to have been to shown the child and cone and not what was inside.
