Vintage Dennison HalloweenDiecut, Running Skeleton with Toothy Grin, 1929

This is a fantastic and VERY LARGE diecut first produced by Dennison for the 1929 season. Their chief artistic designer at the time had an awesome Deco-ish aesthetic that permeated their products from seals to diecuts. Some argue this is the apotheosis of that aesthetic. This is an exceedingly rare diecut to acquire - especially in complete condition. It seems to be quite faded. The seller is a long-time, very knowledgeable and eminently honest person. She and I used to ferociously compete in the early eBay days! I am eager to see what this fetches!

09/13 Update: This fetched a strong $1,035.
