Book excerpt: The Halloween Retrospect, Volume 2 is the second release from the vintage Halloween collectibles book series by THR archive library publications that continues a tradition of novelty-size research digests pulling field data from 525+ catalogs, advertisements, and period articles (1900-1979). This particular edition contains an illuminating study with help from Framingham History Center on 1) Decrypting Dennison: Serial Number Guide Featuring Autumn Publication, while shorter items include 2) Shackman’s 70 / 72: Peculiar Catalogs from the Tens & Thirties, 3) Skittle or Decor: The New Identity Crisis for Vintage Figures, and 4) Trix or Treats at Sears: Rosen in Midcentury Midseason Fall Catalogs. Together with fold-out poster (featuring a Dennison timeline of autumn publications like Bogie Book) as well as a pair of postcards featuring Shackman product illustrations, the official copies of this 6″x9″ softcover 32-page guide (with color & black-and-white illustrations) offers a much-needed critical perspective of traditional narratives surrounding the antique Halloween market, and makes a great reference guides for next-generation data-conscious collectors .
