Hello Readers! 

I’ll be soon conducting my annual auction of vintage Halloween collectibles right here on the site. Unlike so much material seen elsewhere, the items to be auctioned are all vintage and as described. I guarantee it!

The preview period begins the morning of Sunday, March 2nd. (This is the period where you can look over the lots and ask questions, but no bidding takes place.)  

The auction itself begins the morning of Sunday, March 9th. (This is the period where you can look over the lots, ask questions and place bids.)

The auction for all lots will end at 9:00 PM on Sunday, March 16th. (This time reflects that I am in California, which is midnight on the east coast.)

The auction consists of 104 lots. There is a wide variety of vintage goods from entry-level items to those that should tantalize even the most advanced collectors. There are USA and German diecuts, USA lanterns and shades, USA and German JOLs, hats and masks, small paper items, candy holders and figurals, candles, post cards, noisemakers, boxed goods and more!

All lots will begin at $15 with no reserve.

Nine items are “BOOK ITEMS” - items photographed for and appearing in all or some of my three editions of Vintage Halloween Collectibles. I rarely sell items from the collection as I am a collector rather than a dealer, but I simply can’t keep everything. 

As a thank you to those who have purchased a copy of my third edition of Vintage Halloween Collectibles, I will be accepting requests for bidder numbers and bids only from those who have purchased a copy of that book from me. It is not too late to order your copy!

If you have a new email and/or phone number or are unsure as to whether I have this information, please contact me so I can update contact information. 

If you wish to obtain a bidding number, you can request one anytime from now until the final day of the auction. 

I hope that you’ll be a participant!          Happy Halloween!
