Witch Lantern Cardboard Two Faced w/ original inserts. Vintage Halloween 1940's

This witch head lantern has always been tough to find. I haven’t seen one surface for a long time in this superior condition. The manufacturer had a tentative grasp, at best, of color constancy. The witch face is sometimes bright green like this and sometimes a dusty camo color. The hat is sometimes red, sometimes orange and sometimes yellow. The ending result seems in line with how prices across most vintage Halloween fronts have escalated dramatically over these last 18 months.
