My name is Ralph Riovo and I am the Sole Proprietor of The Purple Cow. I have been collecting and dealing
in collectibles since 1972. Around 1975, I started collecting milk bottles and caps and haven't stopped yet. In 1994 we
added PEZ dispensers to our sales stock and have expanded our PEZ sales to make them a major part of our business. With a direct
account with PEZ Candy, Inc., we can offer our customers great prices on all new releases.
I am a charter
member and Regional Repesentative of The National Association of Milk Bottle Collectors as well as a member of the Board of Directors.
I am also a life member of The Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors. My daughter Amy is an avid comic book collector and is
in charge of Comical Expressions, a division of The Purple Cow.
Patty Ann Paules has joined us and is Director
of Internet Commerce both on eBay and this web site.
