Davar Pixies - The Davar pixies have are flat headed and are similar in shape and size to Holt-Howard pixies.  Typically the Davar spoon will fit in a HH jar and visa versa.  The stripes of the Davar pixie base are horizontal and they have little arms.  The lettering of the condiment on the base is written either in script or block style - script will have a floppy haired pixie top, block will have the hair standing up straight.  The quality of Davar is lesser than that of the Holt-Howard line.  The pixie tops must have been placed horizontal with the back collar and back of the head touching something when their paint was drying as you almost always see manufacturing firing flaws in those areas.  The color of the skin can range from real light, almost almond, to a flesh color.  The lines on the jars sometimes look like a nervous person painted them on.   And I have seen glazed over chips on the ears.  I have only seen one discolored Davar condiment so they must not be as prone to crazing as the Holt-Howard pixies.  You will often see little paint splatters and glaze pops but, for all their manufacturing flaws, they are still really cute and highly collectable.  Davar also made a cute horseradish nodder condiment holder, and a garlic condiment that are quite rare.  TIP:  you often see the tops and bottoms mismatched on the Davar pieces so be sure when you buy that you refer back here and are buying a matched set as the value goes way down if it is mismatched.  

Davar Pill Boy Nodders - The pill boys aren't really pixies but nodders, however some people like to call them pixies.  Thee were six of them - Asprin, Pills for Chills, Lan Sakes Take these for Headaches, Tranquilizers, Hay Fever Pills, and Pep-up Pills - they came in a box together.  The head is attached to the collar with a spring which makes the head nod back and forth. Up inside the head is a brown stopper so the head doesn't come off the spring.  They came in Pink, Yellow and Blue stripes and were made in 1958 and 1959.  They are cute but like their pixie condiments, there are always a lot of flaws on them most of the time.  People get the heads mismatched, and the brown stopper is missing on the top of the spring so the head falls off the spring.  I think the reason we don't see them that much is that they are so fragile and topple over easily and break.  They aren't air tight, so really aren't useful as pill holders - they are just a cute item you may want to collect!     

Lefton Pixies - There were two flavors of Lefton Pixies:  the ones made in the US and the ones made for Canadian distribution (which have the ESD label).  Both the US and Canada Lefton pixies have round heads and the stripes are horizontal.  They are larger than the HH and Davar pixie - the spoon is too long to fit in a Davar or HH pixie bottom.  The necks of the Lefton pixie is thicker than Davar and Holt Howard, therefore you don't see them broken as often.... however, I have seen my share of broken ones!  The quality is similar to that of Holt Howard.  Lefton made a Jam, Marmalade, Instant Coffee, Mustard, Ketchup, Cocktail Olives, Cocktail Cherries, Relish, Sweetie Syrup, Salt & Pepper, and Santa/Mrs Santa  pixie condiment.  Lefton also made a cocktail set consisting of a small Cocktail Onions and Cocktail Cherries pixie sitting on a tray (which had the cocktail drink names on it). The cocktail set is much smaller than the other pixies.  There were a few "human head" Lefton condiments also.

MG "Dolly" Girl Pixies - MG introduced their line in 1968 as Dolly Jars.  These are more "little girls" than "pixies", however because they have a spoon attached to the head, they are often referred to as pixies.  Each little girl head is flat and has a bow.  The bow matches the color of the dots and collar on her dress. The Saccharin condiment is half the size of the other condiments.  The most common flaw on these are the paint loss. 

Lipper & Mann Bonnet Girl Pixies - These little L&M Bonnet Girls sure are cute.  All have round heads with little bonnets.  Excellent quality but those flower bonnets chip really easily.   I have a Boy Jelly with the Liper label but he doesn't look anything like the Bonnet Girls (I'll get a picture on soon of him). 

Jolly Girl Pixie - The Jolly Girl Pixie condiments have little girl faces and are again referred to as pixies because of the attached spoon.  The bow matches the little flowers on the base and collar.  And she has little feet on the base!  No one seems to know much about this line but they made the Jam, Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, Mayo and Salt and Pepper.

Black Americana Pixies - Now this one you don't see often.  Only the Catsup and Mustard were made in this line.  They were sold in a set with napkins and placemats.  The pixie head is flat headed, the jar is flat too (rather than round like most of them), and the collar is oblong rather than round.  The box says "Decorative Ensemble by Barth and Dreyfuss" and on the bottom of the pieces is a NASCO label. These are expensive if you can find them, evidently there were not many made.

Blondie Pixies - Cute round headed pixies that all have blonde hair.  They have vertical stripes and the jar is more "hour glass" shaped with arms.  The quality is so-so and the spoon is a bit straight and narrow.  I have seen the Jam, Ketchup, Mustard and Relish.  No one seems to know who made these..

Kreiss Pixies - I have only seen the Ketchup and Mustard in Kreiss.

Beatson Pixies - These pixies don't have stripes but rather are two-toned and have little buttons on the jar.  Their heads are round and I have seen them in the common condiments Jam, Ketchup, Mustard.  They also made some cocktail ones that are taller... same round head and spoon attached.

Swirl Girl Pixies - The Swirl Girl pixies have swirling vertical stripes with girl heads.  So-so quality.  I have seen the common condiments Jam, Ketchup, Mustard.

Commodore Ketchup and Mustard Pixies - Commodore only made the two pixies and they are a combination of a head jar and a pixie.  The jar is the head, and the hat has the spoon attached.

Chef Pixies - There were a number of Chef condiments made.  The ones on the bottom row have the correct head with the bottom.  On that set you often will see mismatches as the head really goes with any of the condiment - but the girl is for the jam and mustard, the boy is for the ketchup and relish.  All these chef sets had spoons attached to the head..

This is a representative sample of the different pixies made.  I will try and add pictures as I get them but if you have a set that I don't have shown here and would like to share your pictures, please email me a picture at sandy@sandyshores.net and I'll post it.
