One of the unique differences among different collectibles when you are putting together a pez collection is the anatomy of the dispensers, as the different parts of the dispensers have changed over time. Here are some of the parts of a pez collection:

Head -

The head of the Pez dispenser is the character on the top of the dispenser. Sometimes the dispenser head is an object such as a truck, a cap or a whistle, or a character, such as a witch, Batman or a pumpkin, or perhaps even an animal, such as a dinosaur, a monkey or a giraffe. There is no end to what types of items can be positioned at the head of a Pez dispenser.

Stem –

The steam of a Pez dispenser is the body of the dispenser, or the main portion where the candy is stored. The stem is rectangular in its shape, and PEZ is written down both sides. One side features the lettering spelled from the top to the bottom, and the other side displays the lettering sideways from the bottom to the top. The stem of the Pez dispenser is also where you will find a patent number, the country of origin for the dispenser, and the IMC, which is an injection mold code.

Feet -

The Pez dispenser also has a base, which is known as the feet. They are a flat piece molded out of plastic, resembling shoes. The purpose of these feet is to make the Pez dispenser more stable when it is standing upright. The original Pez dispensers did not have any feet, they simply had squared off bottoms. These Pez dispensers are known as NF or Non-Footed dispensers. Some people affix little Pez shoes, allowing the dispensers to stand upright even if they do not have their own feet. There are two types of feet, thin profile feet and thicker profile feet. The thicker feet were not implemented until 1990.

Candy Pusher -

The candy pusher is essentially a finger that is on the back of the head, allowing you to push the candy forward when the head is tilted backward. There is also a flat, small surface on the pusher’s inner side, sitting against a head spring. This presses against the flat surface, allowing the head to remain spring loaded while it is in a closed position, meaning that the head never flops around, not even when the dispenser is upside down.

Inner Sleeve and Candy Button -

The inner sleeve is the candy tray, holding the Pez candy in piece. The candy button is a piece sitting inside the sleeve that pushes the candy upward so that the next piece is ready to be dispensed. These parts of the Pez dispenser are designed to keep the candy coming.
