HALLOWEEN PLASTIC AND TIN

Plastic and Tin Halloween Treasures, German and American Lanterns, Cardboard Items and Post Cards

1. Tin Halloween JOL tambourine, 6" diameter x 1" tall, three sets of complete cymbals, sides are solid orange, no identifying marks but circa 1930. This is in nice condition with just some light paint loss to the rim and normal-use light scratches. The small white area in the blue background is a paint flaw from the factory. This came with quite a bit of candle wax on the underside, which we carefully removed, undersurface is clean with a small area of paint loss and a very light shimmer of wax. This one is hard to find and displays great in a collection! $195 including shipping.

2. A 1970's-80s Plastic Witch Bank: A somewhat hard-to-find Halloween collectible manufactured in (and marked) Hong Kong. A bit over 7" inches tall x 3.5" deep, the head is removable (somewhat similar to a bottle cork) to recover coins. The base is hard clear plastic with black & yellow painted accents. The head is a softer molded yellow plastic with red & black painted accents. The front of the bank is "shaped", the back is somewhat flat but has subtle molded features. There is paint rub-off on the hat and a slight amount on the hair (which exposes the yellow).There is also a small surface crack in the back clear body (about 1/2" long). We have owned two of these in past years and the paint loss is usually much more severe. Displays well... a great item for any Halloween collection. $55 including shipping.

4. Orange Cat Mache Lantern – American, deeply molded features front and back, excellent strong orange paint with just a couple of very light scuffs on the nose and upper mouth. Original tissue has a small burn mark in the left eye area which appears to be unbroken but allows a sliver of light when held to a source, eye portions of the tissue are slightly faded, bottom of interior has remnants of old wax and metal candleholder, bottom edge of tissue is held by wax, 5.75” wide (ear to ear) x 4.5” tall. A somewhat hard-to-find lantern in very nice condition! $275 including shipping and insurance.

5. Halloween JOL Cardboard Garland: used to decorate a wall or the side of a table, constructed in sections of cardboard that are joined by metal grommets, marked "made in U.S.A." at bottom of the JOL wearing eyeglasses, undated but I would guess 1940s. The entire garland measures 49" in length, each of the five JOLs measures about 5.75" wide, and each sports a different hat or accessory. The JOLs are joined by cardboard ovals decorated with black cats and pumpkins. The original hanging strings are still attached to the two end sections. The sections have been scanned to show the condition and strong color intensity. The garland is continuous and NOT separated as shown in scan. Overall very good condition: there are some creases at the grommet attachments that do not show from the front when the garland is hung or displayed and some extremely light age discoloration on a couple of the sections. Cardboard is strong, color is excellent, all sections firmly attached(these are difficult to find with all sections intact). A great, large display piece from the 1940’s for your Halloween collection! $95 including shipping.e.

6. 2 Halloween Tablecloths 1980s - Lot of two unused Halloween tablecloths, both are Forget-Me-Not products manufactured by American Greetings. Both are unused, still sealed in plastic. The lot includes: 1) paper tablecloth with a juvenile Halloween theme, black cat and JOL with autumn foliage on a deep yellow field with a white border, 54" x 96", a few small tears to the plastic covering and a couple of old store tags, otherwise excellent. This one is dated 1981. 2) plastic tablecloth featuring black cats on a fence, a full moon and scary trees, orange background with a white border, 54" x 96", satin finish, drapes like cloth, undated but most likely late 1980s. Both tablecloths are $15 including shipping.

7. 12 Halloween Trick or Treat Bags Graveyard Goblins. Lot of twelve unused Halloween paper treat bags, manufactured by Topstone, Danbury, CT. The white bags are decorated on both sides with a graveyard motif. The back has a black cat, the front has three goblins near the bottom, a large gnarled tree, and a full moon in the background. The bags measure 4" wide x 6" long and are designed to hold individual treats. All are in excellent unused condition. These are undated but likely from the 1970s. $10 including shipping.


8. Orange and Green Mache Jack O Lantern: American, 7" w x 5.5" h, with closed molded nose, raised bottom. Interior clean, face intact but has discoloration from burn, very minor paint wear to high spots, no bale. Circa 1950s, displays well, paint bright and clean. $85 including shipping.	9. Small bisque pumpkinhead veggieman figure. This 3 1/4" tall figure has a watermelon body supporting a JOL head. There is overall paint wear that is visible in the adjoining picture. This piece is not marked. We believe, from the strong paint color, that it may be of Japanese origin. Regardless of origin, it's a super piece! $135.00
