Winking Cat Candy Container Sets Record Price at Auction
The Old Barn Auction house, in Findlay Ohio, holds regular Candy Container auctions.
In a past auction, the top seller was a rare Winking Cat with original paint, and it sold for $8250.00 -- wow! I'd say the price is because of scarcity, condition, of course, but also because of THEME - it has the candy container and toy factor, as well as the Halloween and Cat cross-over collectibility factor.
You can still see realized prices for that Old Barn Candy Container auction catalog online.
