Company History

From Our Family To Yours. . .
More than 60 years ago, Paul Bardeen invented a pumpkin carving method using patterns and small saws. His children carved intricate pumpkins and carried them door-to-door to show the neighbors their creations. In 1986, as a tribute to their dad, the kids created a pumpkin carving kit to share with other families.

Twenty years after Pumpkin Masters® sold its first pumpkin carving kit, it was added to the Signature Brands, LLC family. At Signature Brands, we are excited to continue the Pumpkin Masters® tradition of creating products that change the way families carve pumpkins and to create products that enhance Halloween traditions.

Innovative Spirit

It was a family tradition and innovative spirit that prompted the creation of Pumpkin Masters®. With a single idea, the Bardeen family had an extraordinary impact on how people celebrate Halloween. The tradition of carving pumpkins has never been the same since the introduction of Pumpkin Masters®' first product: the pumpkin carving kit.

Today, the spirit of developing innovative products is stronger than ever. Pumpkin Masters® has a dedicated team committed to building the best and most imaginative products in the industry.
