Product description
The glass Jack-o-lantern is made of orange colored glass and is trimmed with black accent wire. Your letter indicates it will be available in two sizes, 6.25" in height and, like the sample provided 8.75" in height. This sample is also approximately 6 inches in diameter at it's widest point. The opening at the top of the pumpkin is approximately 3.25" in diameter through which a votive or pillar candle may be inserted. The wire trim has been formed in certain areas into shapes that represent eyes, ears, nose and a mouth. These shapes give the article a "jack-0-lantern" style face. As a direct result of the Midwest of Cannon Falls Inc., vs U.S. 96-1271, 1279, certain articles which were perceived to be classified elsewhere in the tariff, will now fall within the realm of "festive, carnival or other entertainment articles of Chapter 95".
