A very old mask from 1967

Hi everybody I am Scott. I have made an awesome find recently, back in the day,when I was a kid I was playing with my older brothers mask it was a white skull, I lost it and after 30 years it has resurfaced in my mothers basement. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it. It is a Don Post Studios Inc. from 1967 it is still in excellent shape and was wondering if it might be worth something

If you know anything about this mask please feel free to drop me an email at ngingesser@live.com

The Don Post '67 Skull was the same mask they used in HalloweeN 3 "Season Of The Witch". If I am not mistaken they run around $100.00 if you find one on here or feebay.--Ryan

Yep, that sounds like it.

The old Don Post Skull rocks too, if it is in good condition... that is quite a find.

Get it foam filled before it melts

The mask is very wearable even after so long. There are no rips or tears and it is still pliable and not brittle at all.

Yeah, I would definitely get it foam filled... get a case for it and store that sucker away.

It's a great item, but will wear fast if used.

Ho everybody. It is funny to think that this mask was gone forgotten for almost 30 years and poped back up, I can now remember when I was playing with it I was in the basement sacaring the shit out of my little brother and I hid the mask in a cardboard box, Someone was coming so I left it in the box and now it came back like a good horror flick it just has not gone out of style.

Thanks to everyone who gave me thoughts and ideas. I am glad to have this mask.

Nice find for sure! 67 Vinyl skull, it won't rot but be careful because it will tear easy now that its pretty old.

DO NOT need to get it foam filled. The Condition is good overall with a bit of paint wear and brown spots from the basement? It's worth at the most $100 So if your looking to sell it anything around $100 is a good price.

Congrats on the find

Well as it happens that I am going to sell this mask and I have had an offer for 150 so if you are interested let me know. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did finding it again
