i remember these masks were very thin stretchy…
when i was a kid, i got to meet emmett kelly jr, who resumed his father’s clowning business ![]()
same cosume and makeup…i think his clown name was weary willie…or something like that ![]()
Thanks Anthony, if I were better at photoshop I’d do up a pic of EK with a 'fro to give the 70’s vibe even more. ![]()
Thanks Mike, I agree man…there IS something very creepy about these. Always wanted an original (you lucky $%%##@!) but this is definitely the next best thing.
Very cool Maskentstein, that must be a great memory!
I love EK’s…makes me wish I never sold mine. That is a beautiful one Benny! Congrats
You are correct on all fronts,Benny my good man.They certainly made the right choice using the converted Shatner but the Emmet Kelly is creepy and also a very detailed mask.You have yourself one stunning replica,man.The colors are vibrant as can be and that is a beauty.
Major congrats on this one!!
Thanks Jake, they are special man and hope you find another one!
Thanks Randy, I’ve seen different replicas of the EK before but this one really did it for me. The next best thing for certain!
Heck yeah man… what a haul! I know you have wanted this for a while, and I’m really happy for you buddy. Every time Jett sees one of these, he puts in for me to get him one. He doesn’t understand that it’s not quite that easy, lol!
Congrats man! ![]()

Thanks James, I had about given up on getting one after the last two times I came close I came away empty handed!
Tell Jett to hang in there, something might pop up.
One of the best copies I’ve seen!
Would look great next to the Brute mask from H5.
Major congrats there Benny!
great score benny! you should really post your whole collection. you have stunning masks all around the board. congrats.
Thanks Ben, I never thought of that before but the EK being displayed next to the Brute is an EXCELLENT suggestion!
Thanks Mike, I appreciate that very much brother.
jealousy is running threw my veins big time right now. this is awesome! like a brand new EK. i want a ride in the time machine you scored to get this. have been on the hunt for one of these a long while now. CONGRATULATIONS buddy!

I am almost 100% positive it was the West German Tramp Mask. I have a Vintage vinyl one (Pretty rare). It looks like Emmett Kelly with a Cigar.
But AWESOME Emmett Kelly mask man! I love Emmett Kelly!
I was looking at the EK that darkside studios offers just the other day now after seeing this I think im gonna get it! You should throw that baby on and snap a few pics for us! Congrats on an awesome score man!
Todd
That’s amazing Benny!!
Thanks Mike, I had been wanting one for a long time for sure. Always close but kept missing!
Michaelcovert2, thanks man. Post a pic of your piece sometime, love to see it!
Todd - those Darkside studio EK’s are neat, snag you one! Thanks on the congrats bro.
Thanks Michael A! Good seeing you around buddy.
Here is the mask I personally believe to be the mask that was gonna be used. Since it was said to be a “Sad Clown with a Cigar”.
