Vintage Halloween 1920s NOMA Celluloid JOL “Hollowe’en” Decorative Outfit - RARE

I followed this listing with great interest. It is a treat to see truly rare items on eBay, especially rare items in such unparalleled mint condition. I applaud the seller for their crisp and detailed description uncluttered by unnecessary cutesiness. The description put the set into a greater context, and the many great photos furthered that education. Although this NOMA celluloid set has little interest for me, I know there are many Halloween and vintage lighting collectors vying to have one. Therefore, I am not surprised at the selling price of $5,049.98. I wonder if this stellar set would have fetched even more at an auction house like either Bertoia or Morphy’s?
