The Authentic Frankenstein's Monster Mask - Don Post Studios

This photo of the early Don Post Frankenstein's Monster Mask Box was sent my way a few months ago from John at Monster Magazine World.

With the month long countdown to Maskfest, and all the craziness of both Maskfest and Monsterpalooza, the photo got buried in the mix. I've never seen one in person, and would love to know if any one has one, or other photos. I think it's a safe assumption to say that it's quite rare.

Here's a scan of a black and white photo copy featuring the box and mask...

Here's an attempt to clean up the scan. The source was pretty bad to begin with, and much gets lost here...
Lastly, a high-res scan of an article from Halloween 1949 featuring the classic mask...
