Bugle Toys of Providence, Rhode Island, made some of the more interesting tin Halloween noisemakers of all the largest manufacturers of such items. Their tin designs typically conveyed energy, rather than the stolid designs of Kirchhof, T. Cohn, U.S. Metal Toy, etc. Look at this design, for instance. The witch is trying to hide from a ferocious cat which seems to be in mid-jump. Now, unfortunately, the kinetic energy of their tin designs did not transfer to Bugle's paper litho designs. These tend to be so dull as to glaze the eyes. Too bad this noisemaker, a rare form, isn't in better condition.
02/05 Update: Condition aside, this was bought for $79.99 as a result of a BIN sale.
