Wow. Now that's a busy display! Were these for sale or just an incredible collection?

All for sale. We brought one to bring home. You just have to be careful because some do sell cheap plastic ones made in China.

The traditional and better ones are made of paper mache.

Great shot. This would make a killer jigsaw puzzle!

Nice pic, it really has some POP! I'm just sitting here focusing on all of them individually and I noticed a very colorful (they're usually black) "plague doctor" mask among them, one of the many I've been looking at to use on Halloween. Can't say for sure but I may get this one.

A Forest Goblin mask. Pretty wicked, I think!
This one was pretty cool also but more colorful. They're made with some kind of polyresin. Sorry, I don't mean to derail your thread.
