Vintage Halloween costume treasure trove includes a muslin gauze rabbit mask, linen children's costumes and a vintage Halloween masquerade costume box with classic Halloween graphics. These are very old costumes circa 1930s.
The fabulous rabbit mask had been stored folded (see photograph 1) and does not have a string or elastic to secure it in place. The hand-painted face is just amazing and the linen muslin gauze is in excellent condition.
The costumes have been heavily used. Some of them are ripped on the seams, as if they had been worn by children who had outgrown them, and some of them had been put away soiled. I have not attempted to clean or repair them. I will leave that up to the purchaser. I tired to give a sense of their condition in the photographs, but if you are serious about purchasing this lot, I'd be happy to send you additional photographs so you can get a better idea of the condition. The costumes are made out of high-quality light-weight fabric--I'm guessing it's linen, as it feels and looks like it. They really are just wonderful despite the poor condition some of them are in.
The vintage halloween costume box is in good shape but does have a rip on one side of the lid and a split corner on the other side, as well as some soiling. The halloween graphics are amazing--there is a black bat, a witch on a broomstick, the crescent moon with a man's features, stars, two children in clown costumes, a harvest scene--and this is all on the front of the box. The edge of the lid is decorated with a series of children in various costumes including a cowboy, drum majorette, Dutch boy, wooden soldier, maid, and a gypsy. The box is marked "American Toys" on the front and "No. 1800 Style Tramp Size Medium (38, 40) Masquerade Costume" on the one side of the lid.
