4 Vintage Halloween Cardboard Nut Cups by Hallmark Unused. C. 1930’s-40’s

This result has generated a flurry of emails - all asking the same thing - “Have people lost their minds?” Now, I will say this design is spectacular. It was produced during the time when Hallmark was near the top of its artistic mastery. I love the sophisticated coloration and use of gold. The artist was inspired. These are rare in that I’ve never seen them before. But are they worth over $400 each? I would have loved to have just one even though the condition isn’t anywhere near pristine, but my ceiling would have been around $200.
