Was Spider-Man inspired by a Halloween costume?

Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962, but could he have been inspired by a children's Halloween costume produced as early as 1954?

The question - and costume - come to light from a collectibles dealer named Ben Cimino, who discovered a 1954 catalog and Halloween costume for a character named "Spider Man" (note the lack of a hyphen) with a familiar webbing pattern - however, with a yellow-and-black color scheme.
