American capsule toys have been around since the early 20th century.

They sell colorful gum, and the bonus toys that come with it are a variety of items.

In the 1950s, some slightly eerie items were popular as part of the fashion of the time.

Starting with skulls like these, various other yokai and lowbrow motifs have been created.

Skull charms were produced as toys for children during this period.

As for what you see in vintage...

The materials range widely, including metals such as copper and brass, as well as plastics with mysterious colors.

This Dry Bones skull charm is based on a copper charm from the 1950s.

The design was molded exactly as it was and made from brass and zirconia.

The back side is also not hollowed out at all, so it has a considerable weight to it.

The eyes are made of green zirconia (artificial diamond), giving off a sparkle that truly lives up to the name Sparkle Eye.

The ball chain is also made of the same brass material.

Of course you can use it as a keychain...

At the time, bikers used them as pull tabs for their leather jackets to ward off evil spirits.

It's a small item that has a strange presence and makes you chuckle.

There are no sizes available, so it's perfect as a gift.
