A site for the discriminating collector of vintage Halloween collectible memorabilia. The LaPlace Vintage Halloween Collection.

Rob LaPlace

When my wife and I began collecting vintage Halloween collectibles over a decade ago our aim was to collect only the finest absolute rarest and elusive examples. Our collecting philosophy hasn’t wained over the years. Today our collection is a reflection of those high standards we stayed true to. Our guiding principles have helped us amass a laudable collection noteworthy for its superb condition, rarity, and one-of-a-kind never before seen examples representing quality, integrity, and authenticity™. The photos depicted on this site, including the scrolling parallax images, are authentic vintage Halloween collectibles exclusively from our collection either past or present unless otherwise noted.

E. Rosen Company Pumpkin Pops Mechanical Countertop Display, mid-1930s

Our Collection

05/2019 Update:  I was fortunate to come across this superfine upgrade.  It entered the collection October 2018.  This acquisition subsequently lead to the deaccession of my former ‘POPS’ box on May 10, 2019 which I procured October 28, 2015 E. Rosen Company Pumpkin Pops Mechanical Countertop Display, mid-1930s. This Pumpkin Pops mechanical point-of-sale sucker holder is amongst the rarest of all items in the collection. I have seen only one other intact example in another collection. Each sucker had a net weight of “not less than 1¾ ozs.” When the cat tab at the top is moved back and forth the eyes roll, the tongue wags and the broomed witch floats across the nose. This is only the second time I’ve seen this complete item offered for purchase, other than when I acquired the first (now former) Pumpkin Pops, inclusive of the Witch Pops and Magic Pot. The Witch Pops and Magic Pot resided in our collection for many years prior to their deaccession in 2007. Subsequently, they are depicted in previous works profiling vintage Halloween collectible memorabilia. Most notably the ‘3rd Edition, Vintage Halloween Collectibles (2014), Mark B. Ledenbach, p. 117, The Inner Sanctum’. The Pumpkin Pops mechanical countertop display measures 9″ h x 1.5” w x 7” l.
