Paper Mache JOL Jack O lantern candy container 1935 Halloween

SKU: H0206

Paper mache jack-o-lantern candy container c. 1935. This is a large JOL measuring 7 inches high.It is in good condition consistent with its age. These were dime store candy containers made somewhat crudely with natural imperfections. This particular JOL has some extra pulp in the eye holes and some rough spots in the paint. There is some extraneous material on the ends of the mouth and some wear on the left end. The holes where the bail enters are, characteristically, a bit enlarged.The inside is clean but there is an area that is darker than the rest. The bottom is intact with an exception of a 1/8 inch hole. The back has a bump or uneven spot in it which we believe is from the manufacturing process.There is a 1-3/4 inch horizontal crease or narrow dent in the back and a 5/8 inch ding or nick where the paint is missing and you can see the pulp. The insert is a reproduction made on 60-year-old paper. This lantern would make a great mascot – one sits on the office desk at CurioCorner, although not in pristine condition, we are very fond of him. Give him good home!
