From what I understand Halloween was about the same time as some of the vegetable harvests in Germany...hence the "veggie" items. Items marked "Germany" or "Made in Germany" were made before W.W.II. Before the war most of our holiday decorations came from Germany and Czechoslovakia. Items made after the war are marked US Zone Germany, Zone Germany, Western Germany. In the late 1940's-50's Japan got into the market and at that time "copied" a lot of the German designs. Most of those pieces are very collectible. - Georgia Williams
