2002 EVENT GIVEAWAYS AND OTHER
                      COLLECTED ITEMS 

Below are photos of items that collectors received while attending collectible shows or store events during the 2002 season.   Although most of these items were given away free at shows, they have become highly collectible. Some of the items shown below were donated by F & F to generate money for charities.  Collectors are paying secondary prices to add these items into their collections.  If you know of any other items not documented please email me.

Collector Pam Readinger has sent information on items she received in her "A" giftbag given to her at the Fling dinner.

Happy Birthday Sample

The piece on the left is a rare sample.  I had to inform Pam that collectors like myself have been searching for this very piece for several years.  This
same design was used for many years in photo shoots.  This is how the early collectors first noticed the difference.  Here is what Pam documented between the sample and retail piece.  Thanks Pam for sharing!

  • Candle doesn't have a red flame

  • The Icing is dripping off the cupcake

  • The pink coloring is darker and slightly more yellowish 

  • The bottom has no bottom stamp and only a gold Silvestri sticker

  • The bottom has a hand written sticker with the item # 97715 written on it  (note: this is the way F & F identifies their samples and prototypes)

  • It was signed and dated 2002 by Dean
