A chilling relic from the 1940s, this Skull and Crossbones paper mask was produced by H.E. Luhrs, one of the best-known manufacturers of Halloween and holiday paper novelties. Featuring a menacing skeletal grin paired with crossbones at the base, this design captures the bold graphic style of mid-century die-cut masks—made to be worn, but now cherished as fragile survivors of America’s golden age of Halloween paper ephemera.

The Luhrs name printed on the reverse confirms its authenticity as part of their sought-after line of skeleton and skull designs.

Measures: 8.5 x 9 inches
Date: 1940s
Origin: H.E. Luhrs, U.S.A.

Rarity: Among Luhrs’ skeletal masks, the skull-and-crossbones design is one of the scarcer examples. Its survival rate is very low, as most were discarded after a single season.
