Vintage Pez Candy Dispenser - Lamb with Bow

This is a vintage Pez candy dispenser featuring a cream-colored lamb character head. Despite the user's mention of a cigarette lighter, the physical form is clearly that of a Pez dispenser with a character head, a vertical rectangular stem, and a footed base. The lamb head features molded floppy ears, blue painted eyes, a small red bow atop its head, and a red muzzle. The body or stem is made of a matte maroon or dark pink plastic. The construction is indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century plastic molding techniques. The dispenser appears to be in used condition with visible surface grime and minor scuffing on the cream plastic of the face. The paint on the eyes and muzzle shows slight wear, typical for a vintage toy of this age. The item is 'footed,' featuring the rectangular base tabs introduced in the 1980s to help the dispensers stand upright. This specific lamb character was part of the Pez 'Merry Music Makers' or 'Friendly Animals' series, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s. There are no obvious cracks or missing mechanical parts visible in the image, though the internal spring tension cannot be assessed from the photo.
