RARE - ? Unlisted ? "Oct. 31st... All Hallowe'en Greetings." Pumpkin-Head Antique PostCard
1909 Cancel: Strutting in Pumpkin Patch Lane... Animated JOL Goblin Dude flanked by Hissing Black Cats !
No Reproductions ! / 100+ years old - Authentic Original Cards Only in My Store ! / Anthropomorphic
"Printed in Saxony. / No. 914." = unlisted in Millen's comprehensive Halloween Postcard Guide !
- This SCARCE Card is belongs among the very confusing sets of Gottschalk Pumpkin-Head Goblin cards.
- Confirmed Gottschalk Series 2040 & 2097 ... seem to be related to unconfirmed publisher series 1028 & 914. The REVERSE sides of 2040 & 2097 cards share a same basic printing; but
the REVERSE of 1028 & 914 cards share a unique and DIFFERENT "Post Card" and "Printed in Saxony" imprint.
- The SCARCE "914" Pumpkin-Head People / Goblin cards have sometimes been attributed to Landsdorf... ?
NOTE: Many Goblin/ Pumpkin-Head cards like this one are known to be printed by Gottschalk, and some
say "Drawing Copyright 1909 B. Hofmann." / or "Printed in Germany." - This example does NOT say either.
Embossed Pumpkin Man, JOL - Anthropomorphic "Veggie" People Vegetable Fantasy (see more in my store) Some collectors call these Humanized or Animated Jack-o'-lanterns, Veggie Pumpkin People, or even "Goblins."
NOTE: I have MORE Gottschalk and other Halloween cards, including some RARE ones!
