Welcome Fellow Vintage and AntiqueHalloween and Paper Ephemera Enthusiasts!Many of you know us as longtime collectors and sellers of vintage andantique Hallowe\'en, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter holiday memorabilia,antique dolls, old toys and lovely old china and glassware. For your all-year-long Hallowe\'en loving pleasure, we are proud to present avery difficult to find vintage Hallowe\'en candy purse that was made in the USAby E. Rosen Company of Providence, RI in the 1930s. It measures 4 ¼” high x 5 ½”wide. This cardboard candy container, with its awesome and FRIGHTfully fabulous imagery, held small sweet treats at one time. Featured here is a large smiling Jack o\'Lantern, a black cat with an arched back, a flying witch on her broomstick, aglowing full moon, and owl, corn shock, and more. The colors are warm and rich and include old brownish-orange, midnight blue,golden yellow, grass green, warm brown, black and others. In all of Ziz’s years of collecting vintage Hallowe\'en memorabilia, this is theonly example of this candy container that she has seen in person. One just likeit can be seen on page 52 of the outstanding reference book entitled “VintageHallowe\'en Collectibles: Third Edition” by esteemed collector, expert andauthor Mark B. Ledenbach. Using his relative scarcity index Mark has assignedthe number “3” for this candy container, which means SCARCE. We are so deeplyhonored and grateful that Mark invited us to showcase some of the pieces fromour collection in this incredible book! This candy box is complete and is in EXCELLENT condition. There are some minorcreases to the handles and a crease at the bottom. At the top, it appears asthough one crease has been carefully reinforced, and this does not detract. Asmentioned earlier this candy container hails from the 1930s and it is amazingto us that it remains in this condition, since it is truly a piece of Hallowe\'enephemera and was meant to be thrown away – GASP!!
