Antique Halloween Authentic German Pressed Cardboard Jack-O'-Lantern 1910s / 1920s
This Spooktacular early JOL is unmarked but was most likely made in Germany in the 1910s or 1920s and has all main original parts including the face insert (a few tears/holes), the metal handle (not attached to the JOL due to separation at one seam) and the bottom cardboard piece! This jack o' lantern was made from pressed cardboard or paperboard with a light composition wash over it. Antique condition with wear and tear (may include cracks/tears, scuffs, rusting, blemishes, etc.), including some major separation at one seam/down one side of the JOL, plus separation at other seam and tears in face/face insert, but overall this piece is still has exceptional display value! These are getting increasingly more difficult to find in any condition! This treasure is approximately 4" tall excluding handle. A must have piece for any antique or vintage Halloween collection!
Final Issue/Condition Note: Separation at seam down one side, and tears to face/face insert insert. Vintage used item, please review all pictures prior to purchase to make sure you are okay with condition. PM1
