Welcometo our auction! Many of you know us as longtime collectors and sellers ofantique and vintage Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter holidaymemorabilia, paper ephemera, antique dolls and toys, and fine jewelry. We arealso given the honor of selling fine and rare pieces for other collectors.
In all of my years of loving and collecting vintage Hallowe'en memorabilia, Ihave never seen another example of this rare toy quite like this one! The condition is incredibl...e, and the colors are exceedingly bright and to DIE for! This celluloid owl in hat atop a Jack o’ Lantern roly poly toy was produced inthe USA by Viscoloid Company of Leominster, Massachusetts in the early 1920s. It is in exquisite, NEAR MINT condition! It measures about 3 ½” high x 2” wide.
I particularly love the extremely bright, detailed design, and original eye-catching colors! It is hard to imagine that this toy, a charming playthingfrom the past, survives in this amazing condition.
The only issue to report is a tiny bump to Jack’s nose. There are NO chips, cracksor repairs.
This enchanting and highly desirable piece of Hallowe'en memorabilia is in darn close to mint condition, especially considering the almost 100 All Hallows Eves this piece has seen. A Halloween and toy collector‘s delight for sure! Enjoy!

The gray ghost slyly prowl.
Happy Hallowe'en 2019!
