This Pumpkin Pops mechanical point-of-sale sucker holder is amongst the rarest of all items in the collection. Even with the unfortunate damage this is a prize. Except for the time I acquired the “Pops” boxes (inclusive of the Witch Pops and Magic Pot) I have never seen an intact example of any variety offered for sale. I have only seen one other intact example of the Pumpkin Pops in another collection. The Witch Pops and Magic Pot resided in our collection for many years prior to their acquisition in 2007. Subsequently, they have been depicted in previous works profiling vintage Halloween collectible memorabilia. The Pumpkin Pops mechanical countertop display measures 9″ h x 1.5” w x 7” l. Each sucker had a net weight of “not less than 1¾ ozs.” When the cat tab at the top is moved back and forth the eyes roll, the tongue wags, and the broomed witch flies across the nose.
