Ebay Buy

I got lucky on a bid this/Saturday morning. (This seems to be good time for me.) My win was one of the CIRCUS SERIES (listed above), of which we have only one other The BIG TOP ELEPHANT/DUMBO. This is an old, old series and usually out of The Cornwall Museum's budget. I bid three hours before the close and no one bid after me. The seller did not label the piece 'vintage', which it is, so I got it for less than half what they usually go for.

I will reveal the character at a future date when it is officially donated to the Collection.

STEFANIE & JASON BUBBLY BIRTHDAYS

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

NEW PEZ

I won 4 PEZ at 6 a.m. this morning (ebay - I was the only bidder, YEA!). This completes a set. I will reveal the new PEZ identity's in the coming days/weeks.

STILL S'NO WHITE?

No one has found this Disney Princess yet? Hi Ho, Hi Ho it's off Pez Hunting We Go ....

Two more Disney Princesses/Lead Characters are coming out in the fall. Any guesses who?

DISPLAYS UPDATED

Recent acquisitions required some reorganizing of some of the displays.

Mickey & Friends were joined by other sets to make an all Disney shelf.

Looney Toons were moved to a shelf of all classic cartoon characters.

A children's cartoon character shelf was formed.

Room was made for the Bride and Groom Pez Pals.

Easter got it's own shelf - no longer combined with Christmas and Halloween.

CALIFORNIA BIRTHDAY PEZ

Marybeth was gifted a pair of giant PEZ for her birthday - SNOW WHITE and the PEZ PAL FIREMAN. Made it worth the trip to California, I'm sure.

These giants were picked up at a candy store in Kittering, Maine on the family trip to back East the first of January when RB and MB married. So it is fitting they have gone to a New Englander.

PEZ - THE MOVIE

A NOT-SO-LONG TIME AGO , IN A GALAXY NOT-SO-FAR AWAY......

This was supposed to be the first post of this new blog, to kick it off. I have been working on it since then (among other things). But I am sure(?) it was worth the wait.

Back At the Ranch - Part II

We announce added exhibition space to the Museum with the installation this weekend of two long shelves. They will be perfect for recent acquistions and donations.

Cuddley PEZ for a Cuddley New Girl

To celebrate a cute, cuddley addition to the Cornwall Family a cute cuddley donation is made on behalf of Elizabeth Kathryn to the PEZ Museum of these special addition CRYSTAL ANIMALS.

The Cornwall Museum already houses the original 3 animals, from the KOOKY ZOO set, and a COLORED CRYSTAL trio.

Give a Little Whistle for Dallin's Birthday

In honor of dear Dallin's birthday a donation if made to the Cornwall PEZ museum of 4 COACH WHISTLES. (See below the "arrowed" PEZ.)

These are COACH WHISTLES "B". The Cornwall Collection has, until this recent donation, had 4 of the 8 piece set. Now the set is complete with the original whistles and the mirror image colors.

Happy Birthday Dallin!

KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

There are 36 PEZ in the "D" truck series - 4 different style cabs - 4 different color cabs - 2 different color stems (3 for the yellow cab). The chart above has a check mark by the units which have been in the Cornwall collection for some time. The reasoning was that to have 1 each of the 4 different style cabs in each of the 4 colors (=16 + 2 more which we happened to have) would be representative of the series, thinking that stem color variations were not that significant. (And this saved a lot of display space.) That reasoning has been trucked down the road.

Today a source was found for the last 3 (the R1 yellow cab/blue stem was a tuffie) to complete the entire 36 series. They came from 4 different e-bay sources for a few cents to a few bucks. We were lucky that most were being sold in groups over the past few months with others we needed. We did end up with 4 repeats.

We will post a photo spread of the entire truck line when they all roll in. (Plus some surprises.)
p.s. I did NOT make the truck chart, but is sure was handy to keep track of the Comings and Goings - oh yeah, that's the other blog.
