History of Pez candy....
Eduard Haas lll created Pez candy in Vienna in 1927. The first pez candy was a small peppermint.
These tiny mint candies in the first Pez dispensers were marketed toward adults, as an alternative to smoking, and were created in the shape of a cigarette lighter.
In 1952 Pez was introduced into the United States and in 1955 heads were added to the dispenser so that it could be marketed to children. Since 1955 over 1500 different styles of Pez candy dispensers have been created, and marketed, to consumers.

Mickey Mouse soft head Pez Dispenser: This was a prototype and is believed to be a one of a kind item. It was purchased by an Austrian collector for what appeared to be an astronomical figure to be paid for a simple Pez candy dispenser. He paid $7000. for this rare Pez dispenser and that extravagant purchase price may actually turn out to be a very good purchase price for such a rare find.
1982 World Fair AstronautB: With perhaps only two ever having been made these are considered to be among the rarest Pez dispensers. The 1982 World Fair AstronautB is officially thus far the most expensive Pez dispenser ever sold. It was believed to have been created as a prototype for a future style of Pez candy dispenser, but one which was never followed up on, which is why no others were produced.

The Make A Face Pez candy dispenser is extremely rare because it was quickly recalled from the market due to safety concerns. This Pez container was similar in makeup to the popular Mr. Potato head toy and also had removable features. The Make A Face Pez dispenser was recalled for safety reasons because it's many small parts made it a choking hazard for young children.
Adding to this Pez containers rarity is the fact that the few of these dispensers that were still out there after the recall, were likely to lose one, or all of the original pieces while being played with by children.

- I think all of us that were around in the 50's and 60's wish we would have saved our Pez dispensers, they did tend to get lost along the way. Funny thing is that I don't recall ever eating a Pez unless I put it in the dispenser first, it just didn't seem right! I know I don't have any Pez dispensers laying around right now but if someone want to bring a bunch over, I'd be happy to take them. It is something that they are still made.
