Storage Wars New York - PEZ Space Guns: The Fog meets the other Joe P

Last night on the A&E channel there was an episode of Storage Wars New York that featured PEZ ("Legends of the Fog").  Not just any PEZ dispensers either, but PEZ Space Guns from the 1950's!

The episode takes place in Brooklyn, New York.  Todd "The Fog" pays $1100 for the contents of a storage locker.   At first it looks like he won't make his money back.  The locker is floor to ceiling with trash bags filled with mostly worthless junk.  He's only found about $330 worth of items, but then...

Todd finds six 1950's PEZ Space Guns mint in bag inside a duffle bag.  At first he thinks they might be water pistols, but he soon realizes what he's found.    Each even comes with the gun permit, which by themselves are worth at least $50 each.  The colors of the space guns are: black, blue, yellow, red, maroon, and silver.

Here's the full episode for those who missed it on television. 

Skip to 13:52 to see Todd unearth the PEZ Space Guns from the nasty storage locker.

Skip to 18:02 to watch Todd visit PEZhead Joe Paravati at the NE PEZ Gathering in Stamford, CT and get his Space Guns appraised.  Funny coincidence, by the way, that one of the main characters on the show goes by Joe P.

Joe first gives a little lesson by talking about the fake clear PEZ Space Gun that sold on eBay for $11,000.  Then he disassembles the black Space Gun to show Todd all the details, like the awesome marbleized dispenser.  Finally after a long pause, he gives Todd the good news that his PEZ Space Guns are worth a whopping $3400!  Big smiles.  :-)

Below are some stills from the show to enjoy, since the couple minutes devoted to PEZ goes by too fast.
