Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Monster Bob]

In today's dollars, the bucket would cost $5.12. Kind of expensive for what it is, I guess.

Today the plastic would be half as thick and licensing fees would drive the price up to $10.00 or more.

Would you buy a candy bucket from this man?

I would buy a bucket from him.LOL! And yes I'm a bucket Whore.lol!

I also noticed the strap is sometimes attached to the inside of the head, sometimes to the outside. Also, sometimes it is stapled and sometimes it's riveted on. How 'bout that. I wonder why the hole got bigger? There was a stamped "cut" line on these. Maybe the mold got damaged or...?

Ya I noticed that myself about the way the strap was attached. As far as the hole maybe it has something to do with the monster speaker? I'm not sure which came first? And $5 something for a bucket would be expensive for what it is but man it would be cool to see the kids carry something this awesome to trick or treat. I really wish some one would come forward with a vintage halloween pictures with kids carrying one of these.

The speaker came from a different mold altogether. The tops are completely different.

I have never seen a vintage pic of a kid with one. Years ago, I bought a head speaker off a woman who had a photo of herself holding it as a kid. I do not have a copy handy though- it is on the hard drive of a dead computer I used 15 years ago (3 computers ago!)

hey Bob do you have any pics of the hot pink bucket?

[Monster Bob]

From left to right..."Light" version, standard orange, pink version
I am very fond of the light because it is a solid head, i.e. no hole in top.

So what did you hate about the fellow listing the really nice bucket that just sold? It went for such a low price that we thought you'd be all over it like Wolf Man on a pork chop.

The light is pretty awesome I seen a pic online of one with a base as well. I really like the ones with lime green splashed on their face but that hot pink one is pretty neat.

well hep it went for around $688 if memory serves me right and although i dearly love this monster bucket that is just too much for me at the moment. Maybe some day? I need to actually make a bucket fund.
