A rare, vintage German Halloween treat! Although not marked, I am 99.9% positive that this piece is of German make. Measuring approximately 2" high x 1.25" wide, excellent is the only way to describe the condition of this whimsical item. The stickpin exudes charm just being itself but the Germans turned their talent up a notch and created a naughty JOL - when you pull on the string, he sticks out his tongue! Mr. Jack is nattily attired in a green bowtie as well as a hat comprised of green cornhusks that are gatd together with a red ribbon. Don't miss out...these pieces don't come up for auction too often! Winning bid will be responsible for shipping and insurance. Pennsylvania residents: please add 6% sales tax or include your tax exempt number. Thank you. I am Claire M. Lavin, author of TIMELESS HALLOWEEN COLLECTIBLES published by Schiffer Books in 2003 and my newest release, TIME FOR HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS making its appearance in February 2007. Both books cover the Halloween production years of 1920 through 1985 of the Beistle Company located in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. Both my husband Phil (my photographer) and I were privileged to be given access to the Beistle archives in order for us to bring you the definitive reference book on one company's holiday production.
