I never see vintage Halloween in the wild. So jealous of all your finds! Maybe I'll start buying one or two nice vintage items a year online and then will have a good collection down the road.

That’s exactly what I do :) every year I pick something to add to my collection. It’s extremely difficult to find vintage and antique halloween in the wild. Even if they have it at estate sales they usually know what they have and mark the prices up.

The owl and witch house diecuts are part of a set of 8. From the early 1960s. The oldest ones (yours) are nicely embossed, only 3 colours (orange, yellow, black) and one-sided. The newer ones have green added, thinner card stock, no embossing and double-sided...

@abearandahare2847 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! I understand why they made the reproductions but I only collect the older ones ❤️❤️

I took some vintage decorative toothpicks and stuck them into corks. I save unique bottles and use them as bottle stops during the Halloween season.

The luster witch clips on a plug in the wall nightlight. I love your finds. It is definitely like finding a needle in a haystack looking for vintage Halloween decor around where I live. It feels so good when you do.

I collect vintage Halloween too ! Love your stuff, especially all the paper items. Those are so hard to find ! And my favorite things to collect. I would frame all the paper items. And paint the frame a Halloween color..Also I love tin items. Pumpkins, noise makers,etc. I just recently ran across your videos. That why, I'm commenting so late.

I love the paper items too! I’ve been trying to find an inexpensive flat file cabinet to hold all of my paper diecuts and larger ephemera pieces so that they don’t get ruined. I’ve also considered framing pieces like you do, just so hard to store a lot of framed pictures. Most of my pieces are from antique stores and eBay, too hard to find at my local thrifts 😭

You can display your little plastic cupcake picks in a plastic Christmas dyi ball, create a Halloween scene with the Halloween mini fairy garden items from Micheals or dollartree add some fake sml tombstones some small fake picket fences and then your pics . They are very cute to hang .

You can display your picks in a fake cupcake if you’re crafty or stick them in a block of styrofoam embellished with orange ribbon rapped around the block. Check out 60s die cuts. Anything not cursor and not photographed would be older

The Halloween picks get a small piece of florist foam or small square styrofoam cover it in dried floral moss using simple hot glue or elmers and stick them on top after the moss has dried .This will give you a halloween style display of its own and you won't lose them due to their small size.

The blow molds will not melt in heat. I've got a few blow molds from the 60's that has been stored in the attic every year with no problems. I live in PA and the attic can get pretty hot. Isn't it fun to get out decorations every year? It's kind of like seeing an old friend. Love your video!

Hello! If you have a vintage metal flower frog ( the spikey kind) the little cupcake picks look cute stuck down in those. I love the vintage post cards. I have several in my collection. Have never seen the German ones that you have! Nice! Tfs and happy hunting!

Luhrs and Beistle are actually the same company (out of Shipinsberg Pa) the heir to the beistle corporation married a guy named Luhrs in the late 40s and that accounts for the name change.The Beistle name resumed in 1969. The owl at the end of your video is definitely German pre-World war II the nicest piece you got hang on to it.
