Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Monolith]

I grew up on the East coast and we went to Caldor's every once in a while, but I never got a Frankenstein bucket. I do have a Frankenstein speaker head, however. I don't remember of going to Caldor's after the late '70's though. Good luck finding a bucket. I'd like to find one, too.

Well heck man your a head of the game. The speaker is the hard one to find from what i understand. Not to say the candy bucket isn't hard to find..cause it is.lol! i think i would be happy if I at least had one of the 3 Glenn Strange pieces. Although that green paint on orange blow mold is really awesome. Thanks for the luck I need it! And good luck to you too! I wonder how many years this thing was produced and how big of run. I realize it's a old item but i've never scene one and i've seen almost every old blow mold bucket there is or own it. So i'm starting to think it wasn't distributed around these parts (Kansas) or it was a low print run or maybe it's just that damn cool no one wants to get rid of one.lol! here's a very small portion of me and my mom's blow mold bucket collection and I mean very small.

Oh I'm thinkin' they are around.......  believe me, no one in Kansas is gonna know how sought after they are..........and you will have to beat me to it if one sticks it's head up these parts!......Ha!   Buddy

I don't know how many were produced, or how large the run was, but I do know the Clinton plastic company was a very small one. It was much smaller than the others in this area like A J Renzi or Union Products, all of which my father used to deliver boxes to back in their hay days.

I am younger than this Frankenstein candy buckets time, but I do have a great memeory from when I was a kid that my dad one year at Halloween came home with Hulk and Spiderman candy buckets for me and my brothers from Renzi.

I am also an Apes collector and have been looking for the molds to the Renzi banks for years without luck, and my mom searchs yard sales for one of these buckets, but hasn't turn up anything yet, but I am sure they are still out there. I constantly here of people who still find amazing things at yard sales for less than a buck and I have had some luck myself with rare finds.

Jim he is actually a new addition to our pumpkin collection that we got last year. My Mom found him and gave him to me. We've got lots more buckets stashed in the basement and attic but i think he's my favorite. i'm got a soft spot for him.

I'm definitely happy to have the speaker head, it's one of, if not the most, prized of my possessions.

Nice blow mold pumpkins. I too, really like the pirate one.

A heads up: there will be a Frankenstein candy bucket in the next Hake's auction, I've been told.

[Monster Bob]

Speaking of Hake's, the two "Charles Addams" sketches in the last auction were forgeries, which shocked me. Plus, they brought top dollar for what they were, had they been authentic.

Whoa when did this news come out? Was this corrected?

[Monster Bob]

They went through and sold for ~$450 and ~$750 or so. Apparently no one called them on it. I am pretty sure I know who the consignor was (a good guess anyway), who has been a source of similar looking "Bad Addams" art for a couple of years.

[Hepcat]

Any way I guess I'm trying to figure out the rareness and what are my chances of finding one in Kansas.lol!

You have no chance of finding one in Kansas now that Missdead has joined Bigbud in vacuuming up anything cool in the immediate area.

LOL! Like a lotta of my finds it will just be luck. All the blow mold me and my mom have has been bought for less then a $1 buck each and honestly most of it has been around the .25 cent mark. if i ever get one i'm sure I'll find it that way.
