VTG Early ROSBRO Pirate's Auto Plastic Halloween Candy Container 5.25"L x 4.5"H

Another market segment that has remained strong for decades is the hard plastic segment. Hard plastic, most from the 1950s, didn’t appeal to me when I began collecting in 1988 as I felt it was too new. Anything I acquired I sold off. I have a much greater appreciation for 1950s hard plastic now. Sadly, the prices are high and never seem to decrease. My favorite producer was Kokomold. Their design aesthetic was so different from other producers at the time, setting them apart then and now. Today, their output commands the highest prices. This unusual piece from the prolific Rosbro has already garnered bids up to $192.50 with over one day left.
