Tony the Tiger, Prices Realized

Tony the Tiger is one of my picks for the top ten advertising icons for collectors. After all, He's Grrreat! Tony has been eligible for AARP for a few years, but he still looks pretty darn good. Tony is depicted in plush toys and dolls, telephone, watches, cookie jars, tins, clothing, inflatables and on cereal bowls.

Kellogg's Star Wars Cookie Jars

It's a mass produced plastic jar, so don't expect a great work of art. But that being said, these are still definitely worth adding to your collection.
