Any idea who made the styrofoam ones? Most interesting to me are the painted masks and shield on the front, they must have just repainted the original designs. Here's a copy photo of an older picture of the bar, year unknown. It looks like the masks and shields in this pic were plywood. And here's another head hanging around the place. This one is plaster on wire mesh. [ Edited by: tikijackalope 2011-01-11 21:53 ]
