Clear Toy Candy & Equipment Exibit
I have been colleting clear toy candy molds for many years now. I jumped at the opportunity to exhibit part of my collection at The Pennypacker Mills historic site in Schwenksville, PA. The exhibit opened April 1, 2009 and will run for 6 months.
Here are a few images from exhibit.
In this case are the molds for the bust of President McKinley (top left back), bust of President Taft (middle), Peacock (front), Single violin (middle right), Pocket watch (back right).
