Scored "screen Used" Tcm Pt 3 Leatherface Mask - kaizu13 - 03-08-2011
Remember the mystery mask I asked about awhile ago?
I was able to score it from the seller. The owner was a huge TCM collector and he has been selling off his whole collection for the past few months. He has kept this mask for around 10 years sealed in plastic. It arrived today and I understood why he never showed it on display.
The mask has been stayed folded for years and has a severe case of dry rot.
I mean like them dead frogs you see out in the road baked hardened like a pretzel.
Both ear flaps have been signed. Being the dumbass I am, when I took it out of the bag to examine the signature, the mask's right flap started to crumble like a leaf so I cannot make out what it says... The other flap seems to have a sig by Greg Nicoterro, but I am unsure. This flap has been connected on to the cheek incorrectly, or should I say has been fixed back on by one string. It seemed that this was done on purpose proffesionally by a pro in order to show both signatures on one side. :geek:

Very cool but so sad that a true "collector" had no idea of how to properly store and care for such a treasure......Larry

Thanks so much guys!
Glovedkiller- Believe me, it freaked me out when it chipped.
I wanted to take as much pics for everyone to enjoy, and to share reference pics for the great mask makers out there.
Larry-Yeah, alot of Japanese collectors do not seem to know how to take care of masks since everyone down here's more into model kits, figs and resin busts.
Btw, he wasn't selling anything you'd be interested in.lol

Congrats K-man! Like others have said... it's a shame it's in such brittle condition. Then again, it has to be at least 20 years old! A cool addition nonetheless.

I have no idea what it's made of.
It really looks like dead dryed up skin.
Sad that I can't unfold it and show more

LOL. that i a sweet piece of horror history you have there. congratulations, i am real jealous brother. love to see guys in our circle get their hands on stuff like this.
