RARE ANTIQUE GERMAN HALLOWEEN LARGE WHITE GOBLIN JACK-O-LANTERN PUMPKIN LANTERN

WOW! This sure grabbed my attention. What a magnificently designed lantern. I have never prioritized collecting German lanterns but this is one I would love to have in the collection. It is early as the unsettling design was meant for parties thrown by and for adults. The bidding is already active on this lantern with 9 bids placed to nearly $1,300 with more than five days to go. Even though this isn’t the optimal time to sell vintage Halloween, I suspect this will zoom well above its current level. I applaud this seller for employing a spare description style.

10/15 Update: And zoom it did - to a stratospheric $5,179.76!
