VINTAGE HALLOWEEN NOISE MAKER CLACKER

T.Cohn made two styles of these "putty knife" clangers in the 1930s. Typically, they are pretty beaten up, but this example seems to be in near-mint condition. Although the sustainable guide value is $60, this seller has assigned a laughably high postage cost to an item that weighs nearly nothing. Sending it regular first class shouldn't cost more than $2.50, not the eye-popping $7.15 that will be charged. 

03/01 Update: Even with the high postage, this fetched a solid $55.99.
