Really excited with this new arrival. Rare figural Ted Williams candy dispenser bust. Only the second one I have ever seen. And Mike and Mark don't need to know how much I paid for it

Was very happy to pick up my second game used bat of Forrest "Woody" Jensen. He played minor league ball in Wichita in 1929-30. Was fortunate enough to know him in my younger days.

Great pickups everyone...That Ted Williams candy container bust is sweet...is it by the same company that made the Jackie Robinson?
Clint, great pickup on that bat. Congrats! I just got this in the mail today...Thanks to Andy Bower for sending this to me..he and his dad have really contributed a lot to my Lincoln Chiefs collection. This is a snapshot of Dick Stuart and Marcos Cobos in 1956...it is written on the back in Stuart's hand.

There was a clear bottom half to it, that held the candy (just like the Jackie Robinson version). You may want to try finding a Jackie Robinson with the clear base, and buy it cheap... then keep the base for your Wlliams Bust and sell the Jackie Robinson top half. Either way, congrats on another great acquisition! Last edited by perezfan; 01-25-2011 at 09:15 PM.

Earlybird shopping at a local antique show yielded this great 1910 team composite produced by Weasner of Buffalo. Image measures 12 1/2" x 16 1/4"; original frame is 17 5/8" x 21 5/8".
At least eight of the players made it to the T206 lineup; at least 14 made it to the majors at some point in their career. On August 9, 1910, pitcher Chet Carmichael (second from right in top row) pitched the first perfect game in Eastern League history. Sorry about the reflection/glare off the glass.

Rick, Nice pick up on the Buffalo Composite photo....you just don't come across that kind of quaility at antique shows too often, congrats....actually there's a lot of nice p/u's on here...that Ted Williams Candy dispenser....how tall is that?
I picked up an interesting piece today at a flea...14" tall x 12 wide pillow advertising the 1985 heavyweight title fight between Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks in Las Vegas....never heard of one of these

Carlton- The Williams bust measures about 4.5" tall. Which is about 1/2" bigger than the Robinson version.
Mark- I've been there before. That last second scramble to try and get a bid in can be nerve racking. Your post has me wondering if there are more, non-baseball, versions of these figural candy dispensers? Any idea? Maybe if he sees this, Lou C. can chime in because if anyone would know it would likely be him.

I have some gold-toned busts (DiMaggio/Feller/Sain) that are very similar in style and size. I can post them if anyone cares.
But as far as the Candy dispenser type with the clear base, the only ones I have seen are the Jackie Robinson and the Ted Williams (with the Williams being 10 times rarer than Robinson). I am not aware of any others. Since this is right in his "wheelhouse", perhaps Lou will chime in and can enlighten us... I do also have a Jackie Robinson version, which is a bust only... the base is gold like the statue, but it does not pull apart like the Candy Container. I've always assumed it's a prototype of some kind. I can post that one as well (if anyone cares). Sometimes I think the number of people in the world who value this stuff is in the single-digits

I would definitely be interested in seeing the pieces you mentioned Mark. The Robinson possible prototype piece certainly piqued my interest quite a bit. Would love to see that.
