Halloween Hang Up

I found this Halloween door hanger in a box lot I bought at an estate sale about a month ago.  


Based on the artwork, I first assumed it was new.



But then I saw the country of manufacture stamped on it.


So that would most likely date this to the 1950's or '60's.  It's a bit of a mystery, because I wasn't aware of any Halloween-related exports coming from Japan.

      It's what keeps me going to these sales. You never know what you'll find.

    the eyes do have that sort of anime style to them, but yeah, this is a surprising thing coming from japan, especially during that time period!
