This morning Pez Candy issued a warning pertaining to the pictured Pez.
The following is the Alert was posted on Facebook.
There are a lot of advertising regulars & witch regulars that have surfaced again from a seller in the southern California area. The seller claims to have received them from Curt Allina, the former vice president of PEZ and business partner of his.
The dispensers have been offered for sale in the past and were examined by some of the top experts in the PEZ hobby. It was their determination that the dispensers had been printed in more recent times using modern printing techniques. There are characteristics with this group of dispensers that is inconsistent with examples that known to be 100% authentic.
Please be aware this entire group of dispensers is extremely questionable. Some of these dispensers have already been sold to unknowing individuals.
We have added a section to our website www.pez.com called ‘Buyer Beware!’ to help alert collectors to these type of issues. It can be found under the ‘Collector’s Corner’ tab. We will update it when there are questionable items like this that are brought to our attention.
We suggest buying from reputable dealers who are known throughout the hobby and will stand behind the dispensers they sell should there be an issue.
