You are looking at one of the most elusive USA pulp figures out there - not that the item itself is all that rare - but to find one in near-mint or better condition is the rarely done trick. For some reason 9+ out of 10 I see are in this approximate condition. I delayed adding one to the collection for decades as one in the condition warranting inclusion eluded my grasp. Even in this condition, these pulp witches command prices in the range of $175-225 or more.

Vintage Mid 1900s Halloween Paper Mache Witch
This rare pulp witch candy holder is a challenge to find in collectible condition for reasons that escape me. I added one to the collection during the last year when I saw one in great, although imperfect condition. (I had resisted acquiring one as condition was always problematic.) The seller neglects to mention height. This is impressively sized at ~8.25” high and makes a great display item.
09/08 Update: Glad to see this fine pulp figural brought $321.
