This is a precise replica of a 1940's store display mannequin head and was made directly from a mint condition original model. Great hair and ears with very soft facial features makes this one an outstanding choice for tasteful displays. She is 15" tall and has a 22" forehead circumference; ears are pierced for post type earrings.  Apparel is for display only and not included in the sale. 

This model was cast with our own technique that we have named "Waxi-Cast".  The material used is more durable and esthetic than fiberglass or composite resins. The skin is formed with different layers of translucency and resembles the old wax heads of this era. There is a 1 1/4" hole in the bottom that safely permits display on a stand if you so desire. The model in the photos is the exact one that you are bidding on......not one that was made and sold last year.

The primary objective of Decoeyes is to duplicate a historically correct hat and jewelry shop display mannequin true to the golden era of mannequin production (the 1920's through the 1950's).  We work very hard to create a model that closely resembles a new, mint-in-the-box original display from this era.  "Old School" techniques are utilized and no compromises are accepted solely for the purpose of reducing material costs or saving time of labor.

Our revised models are hand cast in very durable and nontoxic resins produced in the USA.  The skin is formed by casting multiple layers of varying translucency. This process results in a realistic "skin" depth. Features are airbrushed (as were the original models) with an automobile detail paint and finished with a durable clear sealant.  Colors are hand mixed to duplicate those found on original American and European vintage shop displays. 

These fantastic vintage models were originally produced for the purpose of store displays and were never intended for public consumption.  The originals show the marks of handwork and ours impart the same hand-made "flaws"......they are not perfect, each is totally hand-made and exhibits "old school" techniques.
