    I forgot that I bought some vintage Halloween decorations recently. They were in with a bunch of other stuff, and frankly, I forgot about them, because I wasn't too impressed.
    Imagine my surprise when I opened the box they were in this morning and saw this prize.
    I believe this is one of the original 1966 Beistle skeletons. Beistle started making and selling reproductions at some point. There is one on ebay marked 2004 on the back.
    This is 14 1/4" tall.

    Look at it!! Isn't it awesome?

    Rediscovered just in time, too. Perhaps some psychic connection to Eddie Van Halen.

    Thanks 2manybooks and Charlie. I better list him today. I see another old one is listed on ebay for an auction starting at 39.99.
    I think I'll just do a BIN.

    It's up.
    I have 4 others that might be worth listing, but now I'm tired. It's hard to date some of these old die cut decorations. Maybe I'll spend some time tonight reading up on them.

    Thank you.
    Auctiva used to have hundreds of fancy templates. No more. :( Now they have 2 Christmas ones and 4 Halloween ones. But I still like how easy it is to list using them.
