This Bat Lantern From The ‘30s Is Still Good For Modern Day Halloween

This is one of the quirkiest and cutest lamps we have ever seen! The 1930s piece was made using cast iron and shaped in the form of a bat. This is perfect for Halloween or any other time of the year if you like spooky stuff. In the modern age, it is not uncommon to simply throw away decorations after the season and buy new pieces the following year. However, families often made their décor or bought something that would last a long time back in the 1930s. We would love to put this bat up in our own home ourselves! We do not think that they make these things like they used to.
