This is not a vintage candy container. The genuine article, which you can see on page 132, measures ~4.5" high, far more compact than this abomination. This POS was surely modeled after the one in the collection due to the nose. The genuine article has a piece of felt at the nose, attached by a prior owner to hide a chip. The reproducers either didn't know that or didn't care, blithely copying what they could see from my references. This has zero vintage value. Don't be fooled.
Fakes, etc.
I'll begin populating this page with photos of reproductions, fakes and fantasy items as I see them listed on eBay, Etsy and other such sites. Hopefully, collectors will refer to this page to minimize the occasions reproductions, fakes and fantasy items are unknowingly purchased. If you see something on this page that was sold to you purporting to be a vintage item, immediately send it back for a full refund.
