Vintage Halloween Nut/Candy Cups Set of 2

This nut cup design has long ranked as one of my favorites. It uses non-traditional colors with solid Halloween imagery to create an eye-catching and intricate item. Here’s a chance to own two at once! The seller is a gem. She was one of the earliest friends I made in the Halloween collecting community, forged over a shared love of well-crafted Halloween folk art. You can buy from her without hesitation.

Although I am not 100% sure, I think this nut cup was made by Gibson. It is stylistically similar to known Gibson items, but I can’t find it in any catalogs.

11/02 Update: Thanks to the inestimable Cindy Vogel, I can now confirm that this beautiful nut cup was, in fact, produced by Gibson. It was sold with stock number 1908. Thanks, Cindy!
