Where to Find Vintage Halloween Masks
Vintage Halloween masks are highly collectible and hard to find. If you are lucky enough to score some, you need to make sure they are front and center in your holiday decor. Not only are they sometimes elusive, they can also be a bit tricky to display creatively. No problem, we’ve got tips and tricks on everything from where to find them, how to display them and what to do with them the rest of the year.
The obvious places to look for Halloween masks are antique shops and flea markets, but the right time of year can be key. Antique dealers tend to rotate their stock, so if they have vintage costumes for sale, they may not add them to their booth until the fall. If you are lucky enough to find one in the off-season, you might be able to negotiate a better price. Online auctions are also a great alternative, and in recent years, Instagram has become a hot spot for vintage mask resellers. Search for obvious terms like “vintage Halloween masks,” but also use the brand names Ben Cooper and Collegeville for even more results.
