It is unusual to see the original battery holder extant with these pulp JOLs. To eliminate the risk of fire due to burning a candle, this manufacturer changed their mold to enable a battery holder with bulb to be attached to the back. This seller obtained this particular pulp JOL through me some years ago. He’s a great guy and a knowledgeable collector.

Vintage Halloween Cat On Pumpkin Candy Container
This candy container design has been reproduced. (It actually was one of the first of the authentic designs to be reproduced.) The fakes can be easily differentiated from the authentic. (This listing shows an authentic item.) Truly vintage items have a broad pumpkin and exceptional detailing on the cat.
