Timeless Halloween Collectibles

Timeless Halloween Collectibles is a book with incredible illustrations and pictures that explores The Beistle Company and their numerous Halloween products in depth. Author Claire Lavin worked closely with the company and in fact, mentions that "literally all the information contained within these pages was literally taken from the company's archives of catalogues and material."

It's a treasure trove of pictures and information and will only serve to whet your taste for vintage Halloween paper collecting.

The book covers the company during the golden age of Halloween, with the following chapters: Invitations, Party Helps, Die-Cuts, Party Games, Party Hats, Lanterns and Shades, and Miscellaneous items.

If you're even the slightest bit interested in vintage Halloween paper, this book will help you date and price any items you might have, as well as read the oft-times funny descriptions that accompanied the pictures in the catalog. e.g. "A grotesque brownie with an abnormally large pumpkin head slightly tilted with a comical expression."
