Seeing this reminds me to pass along a warning on a reproduction from this set. As you know, there are six different slot and tab containers from this set made by the General Merchandise Company. (All six are shown on pages 57 and 58.) The container showing a skeleton pulling a wagon has been reproduced. The interior of the reproduction container is black rather than the yellow or gray of authentic containers. So, if it is black, send it back!

Antique German Oval Jack-O-Lantern Halloween Candy Box! Superb!
I love the pieces to this set, a seemingly ever-expanding one, in that I have never seen this particular container before. Although in super condition, compared to the others made with this same imagery this is rather a Plain Jane container. Given the current price this has been bid up to with over two days yet to go, I would have expected something far more intricate and spectacular.
ORIG Dennison Bogie Book - Halloween Decorations - Hard Cover, 11th Edition
The buyer of this book got an exceptional deal. Hardcover Bogie Books, especially those never having gone through a public library system, are quite scarce. Bravo!
