Cat Paper Mache Lantern Halloween Decor Hissing Cat on Fence

This vintage hissing cat lantern is from the 1940s and made of paper mache and would be stellar Halloween decor. Because paper mache jack o'lanterns like this are so fragile, they are a bit hard to find in good condition today. It features the cat peering over a fence and has a spot inside to place a candle or light that shines through the paper eyes and mouth. That paper covering of the eyes and mouth we believe not to be original, but rather a vintage reproduction. The whole piece is in great vintage condition, considering its age and the fragile material it's made out of. There are a few small scuffs and it is missing the wire bale that would have gone on top. The holes on top are still fully intact if you wanted to replace it with a new wire. There is no candle wax residue on the bottom from actual use, it is clean on the bottom inside. The little witches hat does not come with it (we just had that on it for fun since we used the lantern for Halloween decor ourselves this year). It would look great on a shelf or even in a window with a battery light inside. Measures about 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Like what you see?
