Vintage Collectibles
Halloween Exchange
This collector began the last decade detaching, as vendor and vendee, from the hype of an inflated second-hand market (wishing to neither buy nor sell in such a landscape). Instead, the preference is to continue making personal connections with the average collector, as has occurred these past years, for trading vintage Halloween collectibles as a way for many of us to recapture the modest gifts of olde Hallowe’en. As such, the site is therefore not intended as a source for resellers nor a shop for those with unlimited funds.
Thank you for your interest, and for your patience as the content for this website develops over time. I might direct you first to some of the other pages here such as About to learn more about Craw-Bogle Trader or Reference for books and blogs about Halloween collectibles. Currently available trades are listed in the Gallery.
There is a companion website for research activities via an archive library of vintage Halloween catalogs (and more) – named The Halloween Retrospect – offering a new series of vintage Halloween collectibles guidebooks.
