Lot 301:
Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A collection of mid-century vacuum-formed plastic Halloween masks and vintage toys. The group primarily features characters from The Wizard of Oz, including Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, attributed to Ben Cooper, Inc. The Tin Man mask bears a copyright inscription for Loew’s and MGM. Additional masks include a stylized chimpanzee and a blonde female character wearing a purple masquerade-style eye mask. The lot also contains a Yogi Bear hand puppet featuring a molded plastic head and a screen-printed cloth body with Hanna-Barbera Productions copyright text. Further items include a green molded plastic wind-up turtle and a circular lithographed tin toy or bank decorated with clown and baseball motifs. The masks are constructed from thin-gauge painted plastic with screen-printed facial features.
Condition report:
The items appear in fair to good vintage condition. Observable physical characteristics include general play wear, surface scuffing, and minor creases to the thin-gauge plastic masks. The cloth body of the puppet shows light soiling and aging consistent with use. The lithographed tin toy exhibits minor surface scratches and localized oxidation.
