MERCHANDISE  DETAILS
GENERAL  DESCRIPTION
Found in a dimly lit old antique shop on Chicago's N. side, this is the last of three Vintage N.O.S.(New, old stock) FROG Halloween hats we unearthed. The highly collectable FROG is
RARE
to be seen in Halloween graphics or figures. In addition to
SCAREY FROG
, there's
2-BATS
and a
CREEPY INSECT
. Made in the USA, it's manufacturer, BEE-LINE is clearly stamped on the cardboard. The design, we think is unusual, having a big front VISOR. A great
shelf
piece for your Halloween collection...or could be hung on the
wall.
CONDITION
A cardboard party hat was constructed for a one-time use. In EXCELLENT CONDITION, this is clearly a never-worn, New Old Stock(NOS) hat as evidenced by the bright graphics, clean condition and presence of the still-flexible rubber band-like chin "strap". The only imperfections are some minor crinkling & fraying with two short tears at the RH top, plus a pick-mark on the lower front. See pictures.
BEWARE
of hats with
FADING.
They have been displayed in sunlight.
BEWARE
of hats with
RUSTED
staples. They have been stored in damp areas.
BEWARE
of hats without the original rubber chin band; they have been used or played with.
This frog hat has NONE of these issues!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
