The Friday The 13th Props Collection

That's a wonderful compromise, Mario!By all means, keep the tells out of there, but thanks for sharing pictures of your stuff. I wish there was a way to mark those originals so that they bear an authenticity mark which couldn't be duplicated. The tells will help though. I just wish everyone who made stuff had their own "replica" marks they could add to their work in a concealed area. (heck that's what armourers used to do.. add a very simple registered mark indicating the source) I know that most of the Hockey Mask artists sign them at least, which is a great start in the right direction. I must confess, I hadn't thought of replicas being sold third generation or so, or how they might be even unwittingly mistaken for a screen-used prop. After reading your post I realized that it probably happens quite a bit in estate sales and stuff, where something has been bragged about or misrepresented it and then passed-it-down or something. A prime example is the replica Part 3 mask Richard Brooker has.. eventually someone will think Crash was the original artist for the original mask, or that his signature is a reference to a stunt mask or something. That one's easily disproven, because of the signature, but I can see how it might become a future issue for our grandkids to argue over.. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> ("This came from my grandpa, who played Jason in part 3 and kept the mask")Anyways, thanks for sharing Mario! This is great news!-Mike
