Hey guys. I was at a sale not too long ago and found a box full of old Star Wars items (in case it's relevant, this is all coming from the United States). The man claimed his father used to work for Kenner (!) and because his parents divorced when he was little, his dad would try to win him over by showering him with Star Wars toys.
Since his dad apparently worked for Kenner, I believe what I bought from him is a prototype Empire Strikes Back figure stand, very similar to the mail-away A New Hope stand with the sticker labels with the figures names and the rotating circular stands for each figure.
I'll post pictures later, but it essentially looks the exact same as the New Hope mail-away stand, but with a white label and black text instead of the black label with white text. Also, and oddly, there are 12 rotating stands just like the other, but the label only has 10 names from ESB.
Those names are (from left to right and as written on the label) Rebel Commander, Dengar (Bounty Hunter), AT-AT Driver, Ugnaught, Leia Organa (Hoth Battle Gear), Han Solo (Bespin Outfit), Yoda, Imperial Commander, Lobot, 2-1 B (Medical Droid).
What I believe I have is mentioned here at the end of the first paragraph (http://tinyurl.com/lxcavsq) and here in the last two sentences of the second paragraph (http://tinyurl.com/nxaaerc). From the limited research I've done, it seems like it could be fairly rare piece.
Is that the case, and of course most importantly, what's the USD value on this thing?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Got some pictures up!
