Product description
The submitted sample, Lot #045-7506, Wooden Halloween Sign, is a purple wooden sign with serrated sides that measures approximately 5-5/8” in height and 24” inches in length with the words “The Witch Is” painted in the middle of the sign. Hanging freely from a metal eyelet next to that statement, is an additional piece of square shaped green wood that measures approximately 3” on all sides with the word “In” on one side and the word “Out” on the other side. This will presumably allow a person to adjust the message to indicate whether or not they are “in” or “out” at a particular time on Halloween. Attached to the left side of the sign is a black curled witch’s boot that measures approximately 5” in height and 4” in width and is decorated with a bat. On top of the sign is a wire for hanging the article as a decorative seasonal sign for the Halloween holiday. The sample will be retained for training purposes.
