I hit a pretty good sale with some nice vintage Halloween diecuts this past Spring. Oddly enough, there was only one other person looking through them. Unfortunately, that person got there just before me and grabbed some of the best pieces. They left behind any that were damaged, so I was glad to save those. The damage doesn't bother me. This one has some tape tears, but I think it still looks great.
While the piece isn't marked, I can see by the art that it's a Beistle and various auctions for this piece corroborate that, at least for what that's worth. It was also suggested she dates from the 1940's which I would agree with. I couldn't find her in either of my reference books.
The witch stands 14" tall and is jointed at the neck and waist, allowing her to perform a nice little jig when wiggled.
She is really cute and a design I have not seen before. Given her age, I think she looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt does, as you say, still look great!
