OLD ** BIG **GERMAN PAPER MACHE CANDY CONTAINER DEVIL HEAD , KRAMPUS, BAD SANTA

Unfortunately, here is another example of a collector, almost certainly one without much experience, wasting money on an item that isn't vintage. Always be wary of buying any Halloween items listed as being vintage from Germany-based sellers. The Germans made all of their Halloween items through the 1950s for export only, nothing was left in the country to sell. This devil head has none of the characteristics associated with truly vintage German candy containers.
