I feel there are at least two problems with this example of Beistle’s Horrible Witch, which were produced in some abundance during the 1920s. The seller, a long-time collector, should know that the toning on the skirt is not original to the piece but an imperfection, probably due to poor storage. Also, the one arm segment seems oddly pale compared to the others. I suspect this segment is not original to the item. Since eBay allows at least 12 photos per listing, I don’t understand why the seller includes only 4 photos.
