Jack O' Lanterns Aglow

You may have seen some of these, maybe even all of these, over the years, but I decided to display a selection of my Jack O' Lantern pails I've collected over the years all together.  Every one of these came from a garage or an estate sale.  They're harder to find these days, particularly anything pre-1980.  These all date from the 1960's through the 1980's.

I tried to chose one of each with differing expressions which is one of my favorite things about hunting for them; finding a new expression.

I used remote control tea lights in these.  Much easier than turning individual led candles on and off every day. They're nice because you set them on a timer.

Here are a few closeups.  This is one of my favorites as it still has the Mavrakos tag on it.  Mavrakos was a local family-owned chocolate shop that operated from 1904 until the 1980s. They were known for their huge peppermint patties in addition to other delights.

I showcased this and a few others in this display in one of my earliest Halloween-themed posts way back in 2010.
