Vintage Halloween Decorations - Hard Plastic Halloween Decorations and Toys

|

One of the most favorite categories of collectible vintage Halloween decorations is the hard plastic decorations and toys that were artificial from the 1940s and onwards. It's primarily the vintage plastic items that are of interest to collectors, so you will mostly want to take a look at products made in the Forties and Fifties, but some later finds from the Sixties and beyond are beyond doubt absorbing as well if you want to put together a fun and whimsical collection.

Some of the brand names to take note of are Irwin, Knickerbocker, Rosen, Rosbro and Union Products, but they aren't even close to being the only clubs production polystyrene and celluloid plastic novelty items for Halloween. They are just some of the most well known clubs and therefore quite collectible.

Examples of some of the vintage hard plastic Halloween decorations contain items like blow mold pieces in discrete shapes - Jack O'Lanterns, witches, and black cats are favorite (and oftentimes together in a singular piece) and many of the Halloween blow molds light up, glowing orange, especially Jack O'Lanterns, of course, but there are all kinds of shapes that are turned into lanterns as well.

But it isn't just the larger blow mold pieces that are popular. You'll also find lots of smaller items in hard plastic that are fun to collect. Look for party decorations such as cake picks, cake toppers and other small attractive pieces made to decorate cakes and cupcakes and other Halloween treats. You can also find Halloween drink stirrers for more adult parties too.

Also, keep on the lookout for hard plastic candy containers. In increasing to the large ones designed for kids to take out trick or treating (the large Jack O'Lanterns with straps), there are lots of small candy packaging designed for the table. You could dispose a whole variety of them on a shelf together.

In increasing to items that are meant to be decorations, there are also lots of hard plastic Halloween toys. You can find lots of miniature roller toys that are in good condition, so if you're looking for a witch on roller skates you'll be sure to find her. Or maybe you want a ghost that pops out of a Jack O'Lantern to scare you.
