Welcometo our sale! 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, fine jewelry and otherlovely old things! We are also often given the honor of selling fine and rarepieces for other collectors.In all of my years of collecting and sharing authentic vintage Hallowe\'en memorabilia,this is by far one of the most amazing early, large German-made Jack o\' Lanternsthat I have ever been able to offer. Measuring a whopping 6 ½” high, not counting the wire handle, this FRIGHTfullyfabulous fellow is an EARLY one, as evidenced by his round bottom, dating himmost likely from pre-1920s. He is in outstanding, NEAR MINT and ALL-ORIGINAL condition, and he his stampedMade in Germany. He is in a great shade of old orange, with hand-painted brown highlighting hisadorable features. This Jack was made from light composition wash over formed-and-stapledpaperboard. He even has green highlights to his striations, which simulatethose of a real pumpkin. His original paper insert is pristine, and is in shades of old red, pale green,warm beige, black and navy blue. The attractive pale green color of the teeth issomewhat unusual for a German Jack, and this feature adds to his appealing and spooky countenance. He was never used for his intended purpose, meaning there is NO wax and NO burn marks inhis interior. He does retain his original tin candleholder, albeit unused. This big Jack is more oval shaped than round, but that is the way he was made.There is a slight separation to a side seam and this does not detract because GermanJacks like him were made in two halves. Over time, the paper covering hasmerely aged and separated a bit. On the back side is an original reinforcementto a slight crack, and I believe this was done when this Jack was made, as thecoloring matches the original paint on the side seams. At the bottom, there isa slight separation as well – again, this should not be considered a majorconcern. In my opinion, this incredible piece of Hallowe\'en history is one of the finestexamples of early German artistry and design. His very old, primitive look, andhis MAGICally magnificent condition, make him the perfect acquisition for themost discerning collector.
