EARLY PRISTINE GERMAN HALLOWEEN GEORGE WASHINGTON VEGGIE MAN COMPOSITION CAND

This was another strong sale for this great seller They list 50+ items each season with items offered at many price points, appealing to beginning and advanced collectors alike. The German candy container genre has been soft overall, except in those instances where the sellers are known and trusted. This is because this genre is rife with fakes, reproductions and items with undisclosed restoration. For this genre especially, never buy something unless the seller offers a simple, unfettered refund policy. The best and safest practice is to only buy from trusted sellers. 
Looking at the results stnick22 received for their candy container offerings, I marvel at the strong prices fetched across the board. This serene little guy was a candidate for inclusion into the collection, but I was distracted with other activities and forgot to bid. That was certainly my loss.
