"There is a fine line between hobby and mental illness" - Dave Barry ...



This Christmas a some of my friends and family gave me Pez.  They know I have a "little thing" about collecting those silly candy dispensers.  Not everyone who gave me Pez this year has seen the collection.  I've always kept it confined to the back bedroom so casual visitors won't put me in the same category as people who dress like Star Wars characters or collect comic books. Some people are just weird! I've decided to post pictures of my collection for the whole world (or the four people who read my blog) to see.
The Santa on the left is one of the oldest Pez. It was made in 1955. The others are almost that old. The next picture has a few of my other favorites from my "vintage" group. That just means they are at least 20 years old.  The two in the front row of the third picture are only three years old but they were only sold in Austria. The one on the left is Mozart and the one on the right is Sissi (an Empress in Austria in the 1800's)


Now to show you a few more.
 


I know...... it's kind of shocking, isn't it?
