I am pleased to announce the availability of a DVD
Supplement to the second edition of my book, Vintage Halloween
Collectibles: An Identification and Price Guide.
This 65 minute DVD was shot in my home and has been
professionally produced in HD for transfer to the DVD format. It
shows a large number of items not included in my second
edition in such diverse categories as Games, Diecuts, Table
Decorations, German Candy Containers and Beistle Enveloped products.
For each item shown, I provide informed commentary
complete with reference to my Relative Scarcity Index as well as
current valuation. You will love it!!

Publications released the greatly expanded and fully revised
second edition of my book, Vintage Halloween Collectibles - An
Identification and Price Guide, in June of 2007. It is 256 pages, shows
over
1,600 items (nearly 400 of these new to this
edition) all in full color, with the great majority of these
items having never appeared in any of the other published works
profiling a general array of vintage Halloween memorabilia.
All of the design elements so positively received by the marketplace
are kept in the second edition. All of the pages are freshly
laid out.
Each professionally photographed item is fully captioned -
including data such as the manufacturing country; manufacturing
company; specific manufacturing marks when present; manufacturing
dates; specific measurements to the nearest 1/4 inch; a relative
scarcity index number; a current market value and additional notes on
reproduction alerts, item iterations and other informative data. I
have worked hard to greatly expand the specificity of the captioning
with virtually every item attributed to a specific manufacturer.
The concise, factual text covers a number of topics, just one of
which is the different marks and packaging used over the
decades by exporting countries as well as domestic companies such as
Beistle, Dennison, Gibson, Chein, US Metal Toy, T. Cohn, Kirchhof,
Bugle Toy and
others.
The research scholarship contained within the second edition of
Vintage Halloween Collectibles greatly expands the boundaries of knowledge available to
collectors, making this enhanced reference work a welcome addition to the
libraries of collectors at all levels.
