Item Description
10x13x1" deep vacuform plastic attached to cardboard backing (w/hole as made for hanging). Designed like a framed picture w/high relief portrait of Frankenstein. Simulated plaque on front reads "Second Place Master Monster Maker Contest 1964 - Sponsors Aurora Plastic Corp. - Universal Pictures Co. Inc. - Famous Monsters Of Filmland Magazine." The winning models in this contest were featured in Famous Monsters Of Filmland Magazine #32. Each level of award featured different color text (first place = gold, second place = silver, third place = bronze). We sold a third place prize in our Sept. 2020 auction for $825. Cardboard backing has aging and some scattered wear w/penciled price at top right. Vacuform plastic has tiny faint rub to eyebrow and tip of nose and some lt. corner tip/edge wear but is free of any cracks and is about as nice as these come. VF/Exc. Frankenstein image is striking. All the prizes from this contest are rare and we've only offered a few in our 54 years.
