Trick or Treat paper handout bag, flying witch and man-in-the-moon design

Produced by:

Triangle Bag Company
Production Year:
1950s
Medium:
Printed paper, pinked-edge treat bag

This little orange sack captures Halloween at its most charming: a grinning man-in-the-moon watches a silhouetted witch soar over a fenced farmhouse, "Trick or Treat" scrawled beneath her broom. Bags like this exploded in popularity as trick-or-treating became a mainstream American tradition in the 1950s, sold cheaply in bulk for candy-giving households. Small, disposable, and rarely saved, surviving examples like this one offer a rare paper snapshot of mid-century Halloween nostalgia.

Origin:
USA – Kentucky – Covington
