Halloween the vintage roundup by the vintage inn blog

Last year I created a blog post entitled ‘Halloween-The Vintage Roundup Party‘ which was a mishmash of Halloween “Things” to get you in the spirit of the day. I had so much fun with this post that I decided to do a round 2 with even more cool Halloween items.

Let the Halloween Roundup Party (Part 2) begin….again!

Harlequin Clowns were very popular in the 1920’s as seen in this vintage photo (I’m going to assume Halloween due to most of the group being dressed up).

By far one of the coolest vintage items I have come across for this post, is this 1925 Dennison’s Bogie Book. A book of Suggestions for Decorating and Entertaining at Hallowe’en, Harvest Time and Thanksgiving. This book would be a goldmine of amazing ideas to host a truly authentic 1920’s party.

Scare the ghosts and vampires away with this 1920’s Halloween Noise Shaker.
