Curious obscurity (below) of Hallowe'en invitation card with neither a marked manufacturer nor a firm date, (though likely 1920's-1930's when ghosts with whipped-topping-heads were popular imagery). Blank on the back. Below is the actual vintage invitation: "Hist! You are wanted at a Hallowe'en..."
