Given this diecut’s size and coloration, it is hard to find one in nice shape. This seems to be in very acceptable condition, indeed. Azkaban has been wondering where one of its residents has gone!

1930s Dennison HALLOWEEN DIECUT 19” FLOATING GHOST Skeleton Head & Hands
I love this diecut! When I first read of the Dementors in the Harry Potter books, this is the image I fixed in my head. I'm glad to see these early Dennison paper items get the exposure they deserve. Given the overall condition of this example, I'm not surprised it didn't exceed book value. A cautionary note: 2-3 years ago, I saw 8" sizes of these floating about. All had ragged edges and poor lithography. Given that Dennison always stated the dimensions as being what this seller states, the smaller ones are poorly done reproductions.
Large Dennison Floating Specter Halloween Die-Cut
Wow, another record-setting price from azpaperlady. I wonder who is bidding such large sums of money on damaged items? I wouldn't have thought that this item, with the serious tape blemish to its face, would bring such a strong price. Lately, I have seen an 8" version of this cool diecut being offered for sale. I think these smaller diecuts are fantasy items. There is no indication in any Dennison publication that this was made in two sizes. Be cautious!
