Retro Holiday

Beistle is a company which has been producing party supplies and Halloween novelty decorations since the start of the 20th century. Beistle was started in Pennsylvania by Martin Beistle and the company still operates as a top producer of Halloween party supplies in the United States. However, collectors of Halloween decorations do not take very much interest in their new products. They are much more interested in the highly valued vintage decor. Beistle's vintage decorations have become very popular over the years and many collectors are looking to purchase these items for their Halloween decoration collections.

There are certain famous Beistle vintage products that you should be looking out for. Halloween die-cuts, paper items for the table, and lanterns should be at the top of your list. However, you should know that some of the Beistle vintage products have been duplicated recently as part of Beistle's "Retro" line of products. So you need to be very careful when purchasing your Beistle collectibles and watch out for sellers who may represent a newer copy of a particular decoration as the original vintage item. You may end up paying a lot more than you should.

Many people add to their collections by purchasing items from auction websites such as Ebay. Be sure to buy only from the most reputable sellers with a lot of good feedback from the buyers. These sellers have a reputation to keep up. Ebay even has a program to note top sellers, so look for the badges for "Top Rated" Sellers. You can find many of the best vintage Beistle Halloween decorations in the auction listings below.

There are a number of trademarks that have been used by Beistle over the years. You need to look out for those trademarks when trying to determine the authenticity of your merchandise. Some products will have their trademarks stamped onto them. Other products may have the trademark printed, embossed, or labeled on them.

There is an easy way to tell a reproduced item apart from the real vintage item. The first sign of a reproduction is the year printed on the item. The year tells you the time that the item was made. Also, the duplicate products are made of a much heavier material than the original items created by Beistle in the Thirties and Forties.

When you begin building your collection, it is a good idea to look for the most unique vintage article to purchase. These items are likely to come from the start of the 20th century.

At that time Halloween was becoming a very popular holiday for the adult population. During the 50s the trick or treat tradition began. Since the 50s, Halloween has been commercialized as a kid's holiday. If you are seeking Halloween memorabilia from some other companies that captures the spooky image of Halloween, you should also look for the goods created between 1900 and the beginning of 1950s.
