Vintage Halloween 3 Lantern Shade Panels 1920s Witch Cat Owl JOL Pumpkin Die Cut
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:5133935 | Handmade: No |
| Brand: Stamped "Made in U.S.AM."; most likely Beistle | Modified Item: No |
This is a Three-Day Auction for 3 Vintage Halloween Lantern Shade/Lampshade Panels with Die-Cut Jack-o'-Lantern/JOL/Pumpkin, Moon, Flying Witch on Broom, Black Cat with Arched Back, and Wise Owl Silhouettes. Originally these would have been part of a four-panel tab-and-slot lantern shade. Only the owl panel shows maker information: "Made in U.S.AM." (as printed on the piece; it is not a typo). I have seen these listed as produced by Beistle in the 1920s.
Each panel measures app...roximately 4.75" x 9.25". They are in rough shape with wear and tear and bends and creases and dirt and smudges and missing pieces. The panels are not attached to each other, and I am not even sure if they originally came from the same lantern. They are made of orange die-cut cardboard with orange tissue paper backing; the black color was later applied in the factory. Yes, they saw better days 90+ years ago, but perhaps you can give them a new life if, say, you were hoping to assemble a sad-but-sweet lantern to place by the easy chair that has a slipcover made of antique costumes. I figured one creative type out there could use these in an art project. And, yes, these panels are original, not reproductions.
I will combine shipping costs on multiple purchases. All items will be packaged securely, are final sale and cannot be returned. They will be mailed via the U.S. Postal Service; insurance and tracking are included in the shipping cost.
Please let me know in advance of auction's end if you have any questions, and keep checking back for more of my listings (most will be Three-Day Auctions) of original Halloween collectibles, including postcards, photographs, decorations, candles, etc. -- mostly antique and vintage, but a few newer items too.
Thank you.
