Lot 100               1925 Beistle Winged Ghost Table Decoration
This has become a much-coveted decoration from Beistle’s Golden Age. Beistle used a variant of this design in their earliest decorations (see the Beistle Pennant – Lot 101) before refining and scaring it up for this now-iconic decoration issued in 1925. As I write on page 228, “This is a tough item to find complete. In almost every instance the head knots are missing. Weirdly, both ends of the base are generally also missing.” Although the knots are missing, the base is nearly complete. The overall appearance is pleasing with white folded-tissue wings. (Orange folded-tissue was also used.) The arms stay open. There is a pinhole at the head and one at the ends of both wings. It measures ~11.25” high by ~20” across with both wings fully extended.
