Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[horror1o1]

Yup I'm talking about the Frankenstein Candy Bucket again. If anyone knows me this is one of my top want list items and lust after it constantly. I'll apologize in advance if I've asked this question before or if it has been brought up in past post. Any way here's my question. Does anyone know how many or how long this Bucket was produced and was it a nation wide release? I guess the reason I'm asking and so curious is I either own or have seen in person almost every blow mold Halloween bucket made. The only ones I don't think I've seen are the Topstone buckets and The Glenn Stange frankenstein bucket. Any way I guess I'm trying to figure out the rareness and what are my chances of finding one in Kansas.lol! So any info is appreciated.

Wow! that's awesome. Thanks for sharing. What state did you buy this in?

[lblambert]

No clue what state it originally came from. I bought it from another collector.

Well it looks like Caldor is a east coast 5 and dime that is no longer around. Seems like most of these buckets from what i have noticed have been discovered in the east coast area

Man, Caldor's was a great department store! I miss those terrific 5 and 10s.

My fave around here was Kresge's.

Caldor was great-they were around until the mid 90s here in upstate NY. In the 80s I used to buy alot of odd VHS tapes from a company called Star Classics from Caldor. The boxes had cool comic book style colored ink covers and they had titles none of the other PD VHS companies of the era had like Queen of Blood, The Mysterians, Legend of the 7 Golden vampires, 2 volumes of the 60s Kong cartoon and tons of other stuff.Caldor was the only store chain that carried Star Classics VHS around here.

A request to our Hosts: I suggest a memory lane thread on remembering the five and dimes.
