This is a rare crepe paper that I’m lucky to have. It’s a special “Holiday Crepe” design that repeats every 30 inches instead of the usual 17-20 inches. The last photo is from the 1917 Bogie Book, and if you look carefully, you can see it above the mantel.

“Witch” Matboard Cut-Outs
Stock No. 11 - 4” high
Introduced in 1910 with the following: “Entirely new this year are the little Black Silhouette Witches of cardboard . . . . Make your own Place Cards, Dance Orders, Score Cards.”
I believe this white envelope might even be from that first year in 1910 because they did switch to an orange envelope soon after. I’ve included a picture of both examples. by @dailydennison

This is a perfect example of how Dennison wanted their products to be used and customized. Thank you to the party host for making such a creative invitation and thank you to Mae for saving it.

I wish you could feel these 6” paper plates — they’re so substantial and sturdy! The last picture is from the 1913 Bogie book. by @dailydennison

“Cat’s Head” Large Cut-Out
Stock No. H80
Introduced in 1922 and made for several years.
The Bogie Books indicate Dennison made three sizes of this image — with the largest size at 8.5” high. I have never seen one in that size, however, and this one is quite a bit bigger than that. I also have two others (another green eye that is unmarked and one red eye one) this exact same XL size. Perhaps the 8.5” measurement was a misprint in the 1922 Bogie that continued in subsequent publications? Or did they increase the size at some point and failed to update the Bogie? 🤷🏻‍♀️ by @dailydennison

My photos are hiding condition issues with this invitation, but it’s such a great image and design that I wanted to post it anyway. The card is cleanly split right down the center — resulting in two separate pieces. What’s interesting is that I’ve seen two other examples with this same flaw.

Based on information from expert @markbledenbach (thank you!), this is probably “Cats and Pumpkin” from 1932 with stock number H2096.

“Witch Parade” Decorated Crepe Paper
Stock No. H854
1927-1928
Most of the decorated crepe paper sold by Dennison repeated the image or scene every 20” or so on a 10 foot bolt. This is a single panel. The lovely @chanelleambrose is lucky enough to have several panels framed to really showcase this witch parade image. by @dailydennison

I finally found a minty unused one. I love the use of blue in this place card — there’s even some blue in the owl.

This is another classic Dennison image that was used for many years …

“Medium Cat” Gummed Silhouettes
2” or 2 1/4” high
Introduced in 1915 with stock no. H459 (and originally called Large Cat), and then renumbered to H586 in 1921. It looks like it was replaced with a different cat design in 1928, but I’m not 100% sure. by @dailydennison

Widely considered Dennison’s best Halloween design — just look at that cat face in the flame and the ghost face in the wax.
