Limited edition second generation plaster death mask of John Dillinger, #6/100, approximately 9.75 x 6, created from a mold of the original death mask. The highly detailed mask is signed on the reverse in the mold by Larry McComb. In fine condition.
The day after Dillinger was killed, over a thousand people lined up at the Chicago city morgue to view the mortal remains of the notorious desperado. While his body was on display, it is believed that four death masks were made of the famous face with varying degrees of cooperation from the authorities. This limited edition mask was created from one of those original four. This highly detailed piece captures the outlaw as he lay on that final day of viewing: an extraordinary addition to any gangster collection.
