Ultra heavyweight and strong, designed to last a life time .1941 Maltese FalconDesign EvolutionDirector John Huston was far from pleased when presented with the Original Maltese Falcon prop by Warner Brothers Art Director Robert Haas. 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 produced a second, 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 modeler to provide a light weight and durable resin casting.It is important to know that the resin falcon is actually quite 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 FeaturesOur Falcon stands nearly 12 inches tall with a shipping weight of 15 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 2016Our Maltese Falcon is not just painted, but is cast in jet black Polyurethane Resin with a special protective clear top coat and may be safely displayed indoors or out .This special 10 lb Falcon comes securely packaged in an oversize box with bubble wrap, it DOES NOT include the Sea Bag Gift Option.
