Welcome
to our auction! Many of you know us as longtime collectors and sellers of
antique and vintage Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter holiday memorabilia,
paper ephemera, and much more. We are also given the honor of selling fine and
rare pieces for other collectors.
Over the next several weeks, I will be listing more incredible pieces from some
of our hobby’s most well-respected and knowledgeable collectors. I am
celebrating more than 20 years of sharing wonderful treasures on eBay!
WELCOME TO WITCH WEEKS! My next several offerings will feature
all things WITCHY!
This difficult-to-find diecut decoration has an interesting history, as one
like it appeared on the cover of Hallowe'en Suggestions Magazine in 1931.
This witch flies on her broomstick with cape flowing, and she has a
super-spooky countenance. This diecut measures 7 ½” across. She is marked
Dennison USA and is printed on light cardboard.
The exact condition is as follows:
The condition is NEAR MINT with just a
couple of very faint and tiny creases. The colors are exceedingly bright,
crisp, and eye-catching.
One like it can be seen on page 33 of “Hallowe'en Collectibles” by Dan and
Pauline Campanelli. Notice that their example faces the opposite direction.
Dennison diecuts from the Golden Age of Hallowe'en – the 1920s and 1930s – are highly
prized by collectors, especially when in this outstanding condition. This showy
decoration would make an ideal addition to any collection of vintage and
antique Hallowe'en memorabilia and hard-to-find holiday paper ephemera.
Enjoy!

Oh, there’ll be spooky doings
When cometh Hallowe’en,
With black cats loudly meowing,
And witches to be seen;
For ‘tis the night when bats careen,
And hoots the hooting owl,
While in the heavy shadows
The gray ghost slyly prowl.
Happy Hallowe’en 2024!
