Vintage Candy

I think it is safe to say that many people who decide to collect something do so as a way of remembering an earlier time in their lives.  Of course there are other reasons, but I think the "memory thing" plays at least a part in the building of many collections.  Vintage candy and vintage gum fall squarely into this category in my opinion.

People build some immense collections around this one and there are different directions that they follow.  Some people like vintage candy jars.  The kind found in the old fashioned apothecaries that have for the most part been taken over by pharmacy chains now.  These old glass containers came in a great variety of shapes and sizes.  I would imagine that displaying such a collection would take up quite a bit of space, but tying it together with other vintage candy collectibles could really make it into something special.

Some of those other areas of vintage candy collecting would include vintage candy wrappers and the actual vintage candy itself.  Vintage gum also turns up a lot and sells well on eBay.  As you might imagine, both of these can be pretty hard to come by.  By nature most people just throw away candy wrappers when they are done with them.  People would generally only hold on to such a thing if the particular wrapper carried some other significance.  Perhaps a memento from a first date or some such thing.  Collecting vintage gum and candy itself probably would involve lucking into finding some old stock that has been stashed away for years or finding some candy that likewise was purchased and then accidentally pushed out of the way and forgotten.
