Skeleton Behind the Door Spooky Halloween Open-the-door Vintage Pin / Brooch With Bats, Black Cat and Jack O Lantern Signed JJ
Made of antiqued brass look, this well made and fun Halloween pin has a deliberately ajar door, guarded by a black scary cat and spooky Jack O Lantern that opens to a white skeleton surrounded by a large spider web and bats. It makes me smile both for the “skeleton behind the door” theme and its overall spooky and whimsical style.
The pin is signed with the maker’s mark “© JJ” in a cartouche shape. That copyright designation of the Jonette Jewelry company was used beginning in the mid l980s. It is likely this pin is from the late 80s to early 90s.
The pin shows some wear to parts of the enamel, but overall its in good to very good vintage condition. The wear adds to its spooky and vintage look, I think. The clasp and pin work well as does the moving door. Measuring 2 1/8” high; when the door is open the pin spans nearly 2.25”; when the door is closed almost 1 3/8”. The photos offer additional perspective on this delightfully “frightful” vintage Halloween pin.
