RARE HUGE EARLY Vintage Halloween Johnny Pumpkinhead Diecut Decoration, Beistle! — Halloween Collector.com

I think this seller’s conclusion that this is a design from the first year of production of Beistle’s Johnny Pumpkin family, 1919, is spot-on. I checked my ultra-rare 1921 Beistle catalog to look at the illustrations. The nose seen on the one up for auction is nowhere to be seen. My theory is that a Beistle art/design manager wanted the Johnnys to look more like traditional JOLs, hence the rhinoplasty job. I love learning this kind of design info. Thanks for being so observant, Cindy!
