This exceedingly rare garland was produced by Beistle in 1923 to augment a display that would include either a Halloween elf or the fairy clock - or both. I’ve seen a complete garland only once before - when I purchased it perhaps 20 years ago. I’ve sold individual segments here and there but have never seen a complete garland at any other time in any other collection. So, if you love Beistle, this is a must-have item.
08/10 Update: This garland sold for an astounding $2,100 - and it wasn’t even in great condition. This ending price is another red flag to new collectors to steer clear of this once-accessible hobby unless their pockets are very deep indeed.
The garland in my collection is in near-mint or better condition. If you have bought a copy of my third edition from me, I’ll sell it for $2,500 plus shipping/insurance. Step right up…
