Research notes
Listed as NEW in the February 1989 catalog. Retail price derived from the price-coded Hallmark stock number printed in the 1989 trade catalog (the leading digits are the retail price in cents; the catalog's own packaging photos show $1.95 on 195HBO-coded makeup, confirming the convention). A 1989 college bookstore ad mentions ghost and bat necklaces, and a 1990 Agawam ad a 'Hallmark Boo Bazaar Necklace'.
