Package of 3 Vintage Hallowe'en Gummed Seals - Pumpkin & Scarecrow
More Vintage Stickers & Seals
This vintage sticker was produced in the 1930s or 1940s. We believe it to be made by the Dennison Company, but we cannot verify that. Each is very well die-cut with gorgeous printed color which really appears to have been lithographed.
We've packaged them in groups of 3 for your collection or for your crafting. Each sticker measures 1-3/8 inch high by 1-1/4 inch wide.
Because the adhesive on the back is as vintage as the pieces themselves, we recommend that you moisten them with a sponge or cloth. Or, use archival glue or paste instead of the vintage adhesive.
Our illustration only shows 2 of the 3 seals in a package.

Dennison has since merged with Avery office products to become Avery Dennison. So new quality Dennison craft and art products are no longer available.
The Dennison Flameproof Steamer sticker remains on each roll, but is a little loose on some of the rolls we have in stock. There is some modest wear and a touch of fading (from storage) on the outside of the roll, but that makes it even more appropriate for your vintage projects!

Vampire Paper Dolls
More Paper Dolls
From ancient lore to new blood: here are all the Vampire Paper Dolls you'll ever need!
Behold the deathless appeal of the vampire, from the creatures of the earliest myth and literature to the popular characters in recent movies and television shows. This colorful collection of 31 paper dolls and costumes starts in biblical times with Lilith and Cain, spans through the ages to include Bela Lugosi in the 1931 classic Dracula and more!
The notion of vampires has existed for millennia, going back to ancient civilizations from China to Mesopotamia. The Hebrews, the Greeks and the Romans all had stories of demonic spirits that could be considered precursors to our modern-day vampire, and the ancient Indian goddess, Kali, who displayed fangs and a necklace of skulls, was linked with the drinking of blood. Many vampire tales that originated in England during te medieval period were similar to later reports from Germany and Easter Europe. In fact, the blood-sucking entity that we recognize today as the vampire had its originals almost exclusively in 9th-century Southeastern Europe. Then in the early 11th century, the belief in vampires had spread throughout Europe.
Vampires are regarded as the undead, compelled to feed on the life force - usually blood - of the living.
This wonderful collection includes:
Lilith - Cain - The Blood Countess - Vlad III (Dracula Sekhmet - Lamia - Kali - Camazotz The Vampire Cat of Nebesima - Chiang Shi 2 Versions of Queen Akasha (Aaliyah) Baobhan Sith - Lord Ruthven The Vampyre (1819) Sir Francis Varney & Flora Bannerworth - Carmilla/Millarca & Laura The Skeleton Count & the Vampire Mistress - Count Orllok & Ellen (Nosferatu) Dracula (Bela Lugosi) - Dracula's Daughter - Vampira Dracula (Christopher Lee) - Blacula - Barnabas Collins (Dark Shadows) Dracula (Gary Oldman) - Lestat de Lioncourt & Claudia - Angel (Angelus) Buffy - Spike - Edward Cullen & Bella Swan (Twilight) Bill Compton & Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood)
A history of vampires and such is included as well as a detailed description of each of the dolls.

Small Black Feather Tree with Pumpkin Base
More Ornaments & Such
Here at the SilverCrow atelier, we are quite fond of Hallowe'en all year long. Actually, we're quite fond of every holiday all year long. If we could, we'd decorate for every occasion all at once. Alas, we cannot, but we can help you do it - or, at least plan ahead!
Our old-fashioned black feather tree looks great on its own, but it will really be spectacular when you add your ornaments. The tree measures 21 inches from the bottom of the base to the tip top and the largest branch span is a bit over 11 inches at the base. The branches fold up easily for storage.
The wooden base is a plump roundish pumpkin and remains balanced, despite its shape. The orange of the pumpkin has a weathered look, but you might even want to paint it another color, such as blood-red, for a vampire tree.
But, black is also elegant, so why not transition the base from season to season or holiday to holiday with a tree skirt or some tinsel?
The little tips are a subtle orange, but once you add lots of red, they appear to change to red - at least to us....or maybe we just wanted them to do that!
Black and silver or gold ornaments might even take you into Christmas with this lovely feather tree.

The glitter accents are in just the perfect spots to highlight the image! Best of all, once the glitter is exposed to air, it may tarnish, which adds to the vintage feel! Of course, each card is accompanied by a matching envelope.

Old-Fashioned Chenille Scrap Ornament - Calavera (Skeleton)
We just can't get enough chenille pipe cleaner ornaments and other creations! This is one of the best we've seen! Just the way the ribs are formed is exciting enough, but the knees and hips! What a wonderful design. We can't say for sure if this was based on an ornament of old, but it certainly is reminiscent of the ornaments made in the earlier 20th century.
The little skull is a reproduction die-cut scrap just like those of the Victorian era. Although his bones can easily be manipulated as any pipe-cleaner can, we suggest you be careful not to rearrange the bones too much, or it might be difficult to return him to his original wonderful self! He comes with a little string hanger attached to his neck!

This fellow either died laughing or told such an awfully bad joke. We love the imagery here. This skeleton is subtly dressed in a jesters hat and collar and enjoying his moment - whatever it might be. The hint of pastel wash to his hat and collar lend an even more curious air to the image. It is signed, R.W., but we're not sure of the artist. But there is certainly a Posada-like tone to this great postcard.
Vintage POISON Label
More Ephemera
We love old labels and this one is extra special. The skull and crossbones symbol indicates that this is a poison. The vintage label is printed in red like most pharmacy labels from the early 20th century. The back of the label has a gummed backing indicating a water-moistened adhesive. Now we don't suggest that you lick these to adhere to your project as we're not sure of the origins or content of the glue. You can use any water-based glue to adhere it to your project. Or, if you dare, dampen the adhesive lightly with a well-squeezed sponge (don't use too much water!) and hope for the best!
Each 2-1/2 by 1-1/8 inch label reads:
AQUA AMMONIA POISON Directions for Treatment - Antidotes External - Flood with water, then wash with vinegar. Internal - Give vinegar, or juice of lemon, grapefruit, or orange, copiously. Follow with olive oil. Eyes - Wash out with 5% boric-acid solution. Call physician. ____________________________

Vintage Hallowe'en Mask - Native American Indian Chief
More Masks
More Native American Indian
These paper card-stock masks uniquely represent the graphical art of the 40s, 50s and 60s popular in the US. Their vivid colors are almost as vibrant as when they were produced, even after all of these years!
We know that these masks are probably politically incorrect today. And, we certainly do not want to offend anyone!
Such masks were popular styles in the mid 20th Century. Each is brilliantly printed in bright colors and with interesting detail. We believe that these are chromolithographed items, but we cannot be sure
There are perforated tabs on either side to punch out to add a ribbon or elastic for someone to wear these as masks, as intended. However, we think they are just wonderful as framed items or as memorabilia of the past. Many of the masks boast tabs that are still intact, never having been punched out. However, some of the perforated items have been lost through the years.
The eyes are perforated as well. The wearer would punch out the eyes (so s/he could actually see when wearing the mask).
Each of the masks measures about 7-1/2 inches wide (ear to ear) by about 10 inches high. Of course, there is a notch for the wearer’s nose.
These were a fantastic find! They are old store stock and have never been used. The woman from whom we bought these tells SilverCrow that she sold quite a lot of these some time ago. She couldn’t remember if it was in the 50s or 60s, as she raised children in both decades and dressed even more children for Halloween!
We have sorted out the very damaged masks, and most are in pristine condition. We will ship the ones in the best condition first, so, be sure to order right away - when they're gone - they're gone!

This is the really neat old-fashioned, original glitter that was used for holiday decorations of all types since the end of the 19th century.

Mix mica with paint, ink, glue, any artistic media. Sprinkle it on your holiday decorations. Grind it. Mix it with a tiny amount of any powdered pigment (including the cost-effective tempera pigment) to give it color. Experiment. Have fun!
This wonderful mica comes packaged in a convenient zipper bag in an old-timey box that measures 4-5/8 by 1-1/2 by 6 inches. So, you'll have plenty for lots of projects. For Hallowe'en, gothic and other projects with a black or midnight theme, our Black Mica might be just perfect!

Old-Time Aviator Reproduction Paper Mask
More Masks More Hallowe'en
From about 1901 (right after the Victorian period) up to about 1910, or even as late as 1918 (after World War I), British society suffered a very rigid system, despite the new philosophies and politics floating about. The want (and need) for more liberal thought and a move for greater social acceptance of all British started despite the seemingly unmovable morés at the time.
The Edwardian Period was also known as the Belle Époque (Beautiful Era), a time for elegant masquerade balls with gorgeous gowns and absurd masks such as this, our out older aviator.
The mask arrives flat and is simple to wear with black ribbon on either side for securing your mask. It measures about 10-1/2 inches.

Poe Illustrated: Art by Doré, Dulac, Rackham and Others
More Edgar Allan Poe
In his brief and troubled life, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was as haunted by tragedy and loss as he was plagued by poverty, illness and alcoholism. Poe's personal misfortunes doubtless influenced the dark romanticism of his work. Obsessed with death, decay and the madness, he created compelling narratives of characters trapped in perverse situations. The profound influence of his stories and poetry extends not only to world literature but also to the visual arts.
This outstanding collection, selected and edited by Jeff A Menges, features scores of memorable moments from Poe's writings recaptured in gripping images of eerie beauty by the author's most acclaimed interpreters.
More than 100 illustrations, reproduced in brilliant color and crisp black-and-white, include hard-to-find images from private collections as well as those from sought-after rare editions. Poe Illustrated features scenes from such popular tales as The Fall of the Hose of User, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Gold-Bug, The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado as well as The Bells and other poems. Spanning a fifty-year period, they range from Édouard Manet's 1875 lithographs for a French edition of The Raven to the 1935 illustrations of Arthur Rackham for The Tell-Tale Heart and other stories. Additional contributors include Arthur E Becher, W Heath Robinson, Byam Shaw and Harry Clarke, among others. The editor provides an informative overview, as well as brief introductions to each of the artists and captions for their images.
The authors start by stressing the balance of complementary opposites—left brain/right brain, challenge/comfort, practicality/the sacred—as crucial to beginning the journey. Then through guided imagery, they lead readers through subconscious realms to connect with archetypal sources of inner wisdom. This process frees the creative and healing spirit, connecting explorers with the body's instinctive intelligence, which expresses itself through the creation of art.
This wonderful softbound book measures 8-1/2 by 11 inches and has 81 pages, almost all with illustrations.

Vintage Bat Mask
These really cool rubbery plastic bat masks hail from the mid-1960s when Batman was really popular due to the kitschy Batman television show.
These old-store stock masks are really little rubbery bats with flexible wings. Eye holes in the wings enable you to see. You wear the little bats by hooking the attached rubber bands around your ears. Even the rubber bands are vintage! The masks themselves are really sturdy, but the rubber bands may break. The bands can easily be replaced with new ones - or you can add ties instead.

Portrait of Edgar Allan Poe at 36, 1845
This fantastic art postcard print of Edgar Allan Poe is a reprint of an old photograph taken by an unknown photographer
It's hard to believe that Edgar Allan Poe died at age 40! Such a fantastical imagination in such a tormented mind.
This reproduction of his portrait photograph is alluring, especially because the creases and other age marks have not been hidden.
SilverCrow, of course, adores his eerie poem, The Raven. This picture was taken the year before it was first published in Graham's Magazine. We like to imagine that he was composing it as this haunting portrait was taken!
Combine with any of SilverCrow's rubber stamps of crows or ravens and you'll regret it nevermore!

As Hamlet and Horatio search for Ophelia's grave, Hamlet's weary thoughts begin a soliloquy on the ability of death to equalize society - as none of us can escape it, be we wealthy or poor. Hamlet finds the skull of his father's jester and begins such the famous soliloquy:
"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."
