Country of origin is a means of determining where a particular dispenser was produced.
Most Pez dispensers have the country of origin clearly molded on one side of the dispenser. However, some dispensers have No Country listed on the sem and some have a Printed Country name.
Common Countries of Origin
- Austria
- China
- Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic
- Hungary
- Yugoslavia / Jugoslavia / Slovenia
Rare Countries of Origin
- Brazil: Some Pez dispensers include the designation Industria Brasileira or Ind. Brasileira instead of the usual "Made in", followed by the patent number.
- Mexico: See patent numbers.
- Germany
- Germany (U.S. Zone): Only original regular dispensers bear the US Zone designation. These were made in Germany, as the full designation Made in Germany / U.S. Zone attests. These dispensers were made after World War II, in the area of Germany controlled by the United States.
