Vintage Department 56 Fearnology Skull Halloween Treat Cookie Jar 2000
Up for sale is a rare, highly collectible vintage Department 56 Fearnology Skull Treat Cookie Jar. Designed by the fictional GR Ruesome, this piece is a spooky, comedic parody of a classic phrenology bust. The skull features detailed black font mapping out humorous anatomical sections like Caution Spooky, Danger Terror, Mental Hex, and Screaming Expression.
This iconic piece is famous for its large, bloodshot googly eyes that sit on heavy internal springs and shake dynamically when touched or moved. The removable top brain lid houses a battery-operated sound box designed to emit ghoulish laughter and screaming sounds when lifted.
Tested and fully operational. Screams loudly and clearly when the lid is removed. Requires 3 AAA batteries
Googly Eyes: The eyes are fully intact, and the internal springs shake perfectly.
In beautiful vintage shape. There are no major chips, structural cracks, or fine hairline surface crazing on the white glaze. Text is crisp and perfectly legible.
Original retail box is NOT included. The jar will be packed with extreme care.
