Product Description

Halloween plastics are one of the fastest growing areas for collectors. Items from the 1940s and the 1950s are quickly gaining value, now matching the prices brought in by papier-mch, metal, celluloid, and bisque items. This book gives an overall historic perspective of the Halloween collectibles field, 372 color pictures from many collections, has a price guide, and shows you how to judge plastics quality and tell old from new. Plastics collectors have needed a guide like this since many Halloween collectibles made in Hong Kong and China tend to be confusing.

Customer Reviews

Mezmerizing.
Wonderful layout. The pictures are clear and spaced beautifully on the pages. Each item is focused on rather than overlaid with others. The information is concise. A number of heretofore unseen items in other Halloween collectibles books. It is possible to go through the book over and over again and still be impressed by the pictures. A lovely pictoral history of plastic Halloween objects.
