The Halloween noisemakers, miscellaneous games, paper napkins; crepe, paper plates, and ephemera selling range can vary.

Early 1930’s tin litho metal noisemakers can sell in the hundreds range. The tin-litho companies of T. Cohn, J. Chein, and U.S. Mfg Company-to mention a few; manufactured tin-litho party flavors and toys in the early and mid- 1900s.

Tin-litho loud noisemakers and party goods, such as tambourines, rattles, horns, frying pan types, bells, whistles and  other clinging and clacking ratchet and canister types, were mass-produced. During the 1930’s, someone probably paid 3 cents to own one of these, but today, they can sell for over $150.
