ULTRA RARE Vintage Halloween Pumpkin Pops Mechanical Countertop Display 1930s! — Halloween Collector.com

WOW! If I had to name my top 5 vintage Halloween market segments, Rosen “Pops” boxes and their related output would make the cut. If you look on pages 116-118 you’ll see examples of these mechanical and non-mechanical gems. I bought three from a 1997 Dunbar Gallery auction: Spook Pops, Owl Pops and Pumpkin Pops. Since then, I’ve never seen complete examples of the first two and only two other complete examples of the third – and that would include this listing. (The last one, offered in October 2015, had noticeable damage. The clueless seller offered it then for a BIN of $79.99.) This listing has a lot going for it: the condition seems to be just as good as the one I purchased in 1997; the seller is tops; the opening price of $9.99 invites bidding (In fact, within hours of debut the bidding is already at $350.) and JUST LOOK HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS IS! Given that an envelope for a Flaming Fortune game brought nearly $2,000 recently, this should command a significant premium to that result. If this market segment appeals to you, get a HELOC and bid! 🙂
