Hello,
I stumbled upon this Don Post mask last week, and I think it may be an original piece. The guy says he bought it in 81, and it was his first mask. It smells just like vinyl, it feels like vinyl, and the paint job appears to be all original. I don’t know much about these masks, so, I was just looking for some information on it. I honestly believe it is all original. Great shape, nice thickness. All around great mask. the back of it says Don Post Studios Inc C 1967-1976. Here’s the pics…
it looks shiny in the pics. in real view, it looks kind of dull. just like an old mask. whoever had it before me, kept it on a styrofoam head since 1981. is this a rare piece? i really don’t know much about these older skull masks. when i saw it, i thought it was a joke. it had these funny eyes, that made it look weird. i looked further, and knew that it was a solid mask. other than that, i know nothing about these dp skull masks.
Well I haven’t seen many floating around at all and I’m always looking. Pretty rare in my estimation. Beautiful mask bro, definitely should be proud to own a classic like this from DP.
That is a 1976 Blood Skull from DPS. The Vermilions have eye sockets left in. All of the older skulls Pre-H3 are rare. The Blood Skull and the Vermillion Skull is rarer than the white ones.
