TED WILLIAMS CANDY DISPENSER

Over the course of the last 15-20 years, ITPC auctions have sold a number of the Jackie Robinson figural candy dispensers. We have always found it to be one of our favorites. It's made of plastic and has a clear bottom where candy was held. One the front of the bust are the embossed lettering of his name. These dispensers generally sell in the $250- $350 range.

To our surprise, we found the top of another candy dispenser at the Boston Shriner Show. It's of Red Sox great- Ted Williams. It is made of the same plastic, has similar coloring and his name is embsooed on the front, just like the Robinson statue. The opening on the bottom is the exact size as the Robinson, leading us to believe it was made by the same comapny (Petitto Studios of Hudson Mass.). It is a phenominal looking piece. Look for it in our next catalog auction.
