Vintage 1950s Halloween Die-Cut Garland – Black Cats, Owls, Witches & Jack-O-Lanterns

Elevate your Halloween collection with this authentic vintage die-cut cardboard garland, a highly desirable decoration among collectors of early Halloween ephemera.

Measuring approximately 5 feet long, this garland is composed of 13 colorful die-cut sections held together by the original metal rivets. Each piece features iconic Halloween imagery — black cats, bats, owls, witches, and jack-o-lanterns — all printed in vivid orange and black on one side. The garland still retains its original orange string ends for easy display.

The die-cut sections measure up to 5" high, with the full garland extending to an overall height of 9 ¾" when displayed. The reverse side shows the natural cardboard, as typical for decorations of this era.

Though unsigned, the “Made in USA” mark suggests production by either the Beistle Company or Dennison Manufacturing, both celebrated makers of collectible holiday decorations. Surviving examples like this are increasingly rare, as most were used, damaged, and discarded after the season.

✨ Why collectors love this piece:

• Authentic mid-century Halloween decoration
• Features classic motifs: black cat, witch, owl, jack-o-lantern, bat
• Original riveted construction & string intact
• Attributed to Beistle or Dennison, legendary Halloween makers
• Highly displayable and well-preserved for its age

📦 Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. Some minor creasing to a few die-cuts and small paper loss on one pumpkin, but no major tears. Colors remain bold and the structure sturdy.
