I apologize for my absence as of recent however I wanted to share this find with some of my Halloween Forum friends here who love a good vintage piece. I have been working overtime to hunt the hard to find and I am more than pleased to pick these up! I have purchased nearly a half dozen vintage collections in the last couple months but honestly these are my favorites and new obsessions.

Today I added two amazing pieces into my collection via trade to a wonderful collector of oddities like myself. Clinton Plastics produced these amazing blow mold Halloween clubs somewhere around the early 1960s. The witch club is equip with a removable Kazoo which I have never seen a kazoo version before. The skull club is the white variant to the orange standard version. I have heard the white version has gone from rare to extremely rare these days. The white skull club is also a rattle. I have only ever seen one image of the white skull rattle before. I now know of two . I'm curious to hear do any other collectors have these or other clubs out there? If you have some please share images

Sincerely
Gris

What fantastic and obscure treasures! I've certainly never seen them before. Can you imagine parents arming their children with "clubs" on Halloween in this day and age?!

You're allowed to sell stuff here, there's a whole section of the forum for it & I bet there's plenty here that would be interested, maybe myself included.

Not sure of the price though but I bet the orignator of this thread, Gris, could tell you.
