Jack-o’-Lantern Keychain ~ Vintage

DescriptionPumpkins are one of the more resilient fruits, finding ways to grow large and bulging amongst sparse soil. It is this reason that they have become symbols of prosperity, growth and abundance. Even the colour orange represents transformation and change.The story of the jack-o’-lantern comes in many forms and is similar to the story of Will-o’-the-wisp retold in different forms across Western Europe, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden. In Switzerland, children will leave bowls of milk or cream out for mythical house spirits called Jack o’ the bowl.An old Irish folk tale from the mid-18th century tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy yet shrewd blacksmith who uses a cross to trap Satan, another story says that Jack tricked Satan into climbing an apple tree, and once he was up there, Jack quickly placed crosses around the trunk or carved a cross into the bark, so that Satan couldn’t get down.Please remember these are vintage & antique pieces so minor scuffs may be part of their charm.Made from that weird 80’s rubber (if you know you know).1.5 inches wide and flatYou will receive 1 vintage keychain
