Vintage Halloween Tin Tambourine Noisemaker: Witch Bat Moon Kirchhoff?

Someone got a true bargain scooping up this tambourine for $69.99. Reading the description, I wonder if it was composed by AI as it is disjointed and repetitive. I’ve never understood why sellers include such phrases as “…is a unique addition to your holiday decorations.” Why waste the space? I’m a strong proponent of a “Just the facts, Ma’am” approach to listing. If a seller is wanting to pad their descriptions like they are reliving their high school English class essay assignments, spend it on meticulously describing condition. Nothing else matters.
