Luminous Masklite Cut-outs

I don't know much about the origins of these creepy little vintage cutouts. They were apparently made in the 1950's. There were a number of characters offered including a Devil, Skull, Owl, Witch, Black Cat, a Pipe Smoking Fellow, Jack o Lantern, Indian, and a furry creature of either the Gorilla or Werewolf variety.
There were metal grommets on the sides of these that create some depth to the mask and provide a place to insert an elastic head band.  Each mask had a label containing the following text:

LUMINOUS
Glows in the Dark
after short exposure to light
Non-poisonous
MASKLITE
Made in the USA

Luminous Jack'O Lantern Cut Out Mask
Luminous Skull Cut Out Mask
