Are You Yankin' My Chain?

This child's light-up Jack O' Lantern pin features a peeking mouse wearing a witch's hat (or perhaps the mouse is in fact a witch) and lights up with a pull of the attached cord.


At least it would if I had the right-sized battery. It appears to take a 1 1/8" long battery. I'm not sure what type of battery that would be.  The pin is made in Hong Kong and probably dates to the '70's.

  1. was this a light for safety, you think? or just decoration? seems like it wouldn't be bright enough for safety, but hey, back in the '70s, who knows.

    1. I think it was more of a bauble to wear on Halloween. I had something similar with a Santa face whose nose lit up.
