"One thing to think about when collecting holiday or seasonal is there is a lot of reproductions out there. I'm going to show you a few examples. This is a reproduction right here. They put the stamp on later. He has the glass eyes. He looks really good. The feet are all the way they should be. The position is really nice and you would think that looks very legitimate. When you put it next to something that is the turn of the century, this is not a reproduction. Something to consider is wear. This has a lot of wear around it. You can see it's just the color is deeper and it makes a huge difference in your price range. Something to think about. Later on I'll show you some other reproductions also. But this price range your going to find this is $195 early rabbit container candy container and this is a reproduction that you see selling for $45-$65. So they're is a big difference here. Something to look out for when you're buying these things. That's why I always emphasize on looking and handling these things, talking and researching on these things before we start to buy. Because it's a lot of money and you can spend a lot of money for reproduction. You're not even knowing it so this is two examples of a reproduction in an older rabbit candy container. I'll just share with you a few more prices. Here this is from West Germany. This is a candy container. It runs about $145 in good condition. These tall, stand up rabbits come in different prices. The tops come off and they have glass eyes. These range anywhere from $100 and up depending on the size and the condition. So, there are a few different price ranges when your collecting rabbit candy containers."
