PLEASE NOT THAT THE PRICE OF THIS CASTING MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME AS OUR COST FOR LEAD SHOT CONTINUES TO GO UP. This 60th Anniversary Edition Falcon was created by applying hand burnishing and aging techniques to a Haunted Studios Original Maltese Falcon™ in order to achieve a Screen Accurate replica with an authenticated history. Our Falcon stands nearly 12" tall and has a shipping weight of between 9 and 11 pounds and is strong reinforced polyurethane resin, lead filled with additional weight at the bottom. Ultra heavyweight and strong, designed to last a life time. 1941 Maltese Falcon Design Evolution Director John Huston was far from pleased when presented with the Original Maltese Falcon prop by his friend the noted Californian artist Fred Sexton. The problem with the Falcon was that it looked new. Huston felt this inappropriate for a piece that had been around the world many times in the hands of greedy men. More than 600 years travel had taken their toll, but as presented the dingus looked like it was made yesterday. An Artist in his own right Huston did a number of sketches depicting how the Original Maltese Falcon should be aged for its appearance on the screen. Following Huston's instructions the Warner Brothers Property Department modified Sexton's work, producing an aged original that won the director's OK. The Property Department created lead and plaster castings while Huston and Associate Producer Henry Blanke arranged for an outside firm to provide a light weight and durable resin casting. It is important to know that the resin falcon is actually slightly different from the plaster and lead falcons; its head is flat and elongated, much like a real bird. The resin "dingus" was used exclusively in publicity photos and compared to the screen used castings the difference is plain to see. 1941 Maltese Falcon Prop Replica Exclusive Features Our Falcon stands nearly 12 inches tall with a shipping weight of between 9 and 11 pounds and is cast in lead filled UltraResin, our proprietary blend of resins and for strength, fine image detail, and THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE EBAY OFFERING FOR OUR 60th ANNIVERSARY YEAR.
