I was cruising the ultra-swank Plaid Stallions site yesterday and came across scans of the 1980 Ben Cooper Cooper catalog. I stitched together a few images and cleaned up some compression artifacts, here's a few pages to sink your fangs into:

1980 Ben Cooper Catalog
Most of the kids that grew up with these plastic vacuform masks with the colorful vinyl smocks and knew of them as a vital part of every Halloween. In addition to the traditional vacuforms, the 1980 Ben Cooper catalog features a new line of rubber masks. Very low quality rubber masks, but they certainly have their own retro charm!

ReplyDeleteNo prob JT! I always loved these as a kid, but I remember the damn elastic always breaking after one or two wears.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they never lasted very long. I remember my neighbor got very scared by it. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteI think their ephemeral nature was part of the charm hahaah.
