Vintage Beistle Triangular Die-Cut Paper Halloween Lantern - A vintage mid-century three-sided folding Halloween lantern manufactured by Beistle. The lantern is constructed from a heavy black cardstock frame featuring die-cut panels backed with orange translucent tissue paper. The graphics depict a black silhouetted jack-o-lantern with diamond-shaped eyes and a jagged mouth, alongside a leaping wolf. A thin wire bail handle is attached to the upper edge of the frame. The interior features a thick cardboard base with an integrated candle holder. The circular base of the candle holder is printed with black instructional text reading CANDLE and TO HOLD UP. Width per side: Approximately 5.5 inches. Fair vintage condition. The orange tissue paper panels show significant damage, including numerous tears, punctures, and heavy creasing across all three sides. The black cardstock frame exhibits moderate edge wear, scuffing, and corner bumping. The wire bail handle is bent and the internal metal clip shows surface oxidation. Overall light fading and soiling consistent with age and long-term storage.
