All of the dispensers pictured below were either made or assembled at the Reddy Plastics factory in Vermont, USA between 1977-1980. Same goes for all dispensers with the 3.845.882 patent (3.8 for short, pronounced "three eight"), they were all made in the U.S.A. and were all made by Reddy. The dispensers made this Vermont plant were made to be sold in the U.S.A. and never reached markets in other countries. Each dispenser was hand assembled by the workers. The plant made their own stems, inner sleeves, springs, and candy buttons (caps). All of the 3.8s in my collection have an OPAGUE WHITE inner sleeve with a circled number on the bottom ranging from 1-9 with only one exception- my U.S.A. policeman has a PINK inner sleeve. All of the candy buttons or caps will be either red or white (red seems to be more common) and they will all be the same style. Many of the heads you'll see on 3.8 stems were made at the plant as well, but some were shipped in for final assembly from places as far away as Hong Kong. You'll notice there are many unique things that came out of the 3-year history PEZ had with Reddy. Unfortunately, since their history was so short many of the dispensers are highly desirable and very valuable.
