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!
This grouping of five never used antique Hallowe'en witch pick decorations
exemplify so perfectly the care that was taken when preparing for a festive Hallowe'en
gathering one hundred years ago!
They are diecut and feature a witch riding her always faithful black cat
companion, broom in hand. Each pick features black, orange, and white imagery
on one side, and black and white on the reverse. They all are marked Dennison.
Each measures 3 ½” high. They were intended to decorate ices, cakes or
cupcakes, and used as party favors and decorations for the table as well.
The exact condition is as follows:
The condition for all five is DEAD MINT
and UNUSED.
The Dennison Mfg. Co. was one of the most prolific sources of imaginative Hallowe'en
decorations during the Golden Age of Hallowe'en – the 1920s and 1930s. Dennison
collectibles such as these diecut picks are highly prized by collectors. They
would make an ideal addition to any collection of antique Hallowe'en memorabilia
and 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!
