Old Dennison products
October 12th, 2007Walking through the downtown library, I saw a nice display of Halloween products made by the old Dennison paper product factory here in Framingham.
I thought it was interesting to see these old designs. From what I saw the displayed peices were dated from 1918-30’s. Just something worth checking out if you’re in the library.
I caught an episode of “Antiques Roadshow” recently and they were doing a piece on Halloween collectibles, spending some time on Dennison paper decorations. Turns out they’re really valuable because they were made to be disposable and there aren’t many examples around these days. I have a feeling our crappy “Made in China” paper decorations won’t increase in value anytime soon!

I believe they were selling these exact decorations before the Lincoln Discount in Pinefield Plaza closed its doors. I loved that place and all of the throwback merchandise.
