A Couple of Flea Market Halloween Finds

Purchased a couple of cool Halloween items at a flea market today. I had actually seen them a few weeks ago, but forgot that this particular place only takes cash. Today I got lucky as they were still available.

1970's ceramic ghost. Missing the jack-o-lantern it should be carrying. Flea market find.

The first item is a white, ceramic ghost. I knew it was missing a part. From what I can find, it is a 1970’s Halloween decoration. There should be a ceramic jack-o-lantern on top of his hands and it should all light up. These parts were missing, so the lady gave it to me for $1, rather than the $5 asking price. I didn’t even have to ask!

Titled: Ceramic Pumpkin Candle Holder. No other identifying marks. Flea Market find.

The second item is similar to another jack-o-lantern that I already own. The one that I have has a little pot that sits in the top so that when you light a tea light candle, it heats essential oil and fills the air with a nice aroma. The purchase today is just a candle holder. The box shows two faces: happy and angry. The ceramic jack-o-lantern in this box is the angry face. I cannot find any other distinguishing marks on the box or on the ceramic. There was no paperwork inside. I’m just guessing this is an item from the 1980’s. At $2 it didn’t matter as that seemed to be a good deal. I searched online, but cannot find a matching image. If you know this piece, let me know.

Keep it spooky!
