"This tin Halloween lantern is featured in Halloween in America,, a Schiffer Book for Collectors. It is tin, about 5 1/2" tall and dated in this reference manual as 1935."
I wasn't aware of this reference work.
Looks like another one for collectors to snatch up!
Both the book and the lantern--although this one sort of creeps me out.
Something malevolent about the thing!
Oopsies on the photo glare!
