Hi, Evanevas. :-)
Trying to find posts at CW S&T is becoming a tough slog amid the software troubles. :-(
Your reference to a "no feet" PEZ dispenser mystified me; however, once I looked into it, I found out why it mystified me.
The short version: I'm old. };-)
Apparently, footed PEZ dispensers didn't come out until circa 1987:

Your dispenser seems to have come out in 1979:

Here are the PEZ dispenser US patents:

Here is an earlier, related patent by Oskar Uxa:

I don't know whether your dispenser even has a patent listed on the body, because there were some mid-1970s to mid-1980s PEZ dispensers that didn't have a patent on them:
