Green Hornet's (Van Williams) Plaster Face Cast and Signed Toy Mask - THE GREEN HORNET (1966 - 1967)


Britt Reid/The Green Hornet’s (Van Williams) plaster life mask and autographed eye mask from the action series The Green Hornet. The production life mask is molded from the face of stunt double Bennie E. Dobbins and marked ‘Bennie Dobbins - Double “Britt”’. It is painted skin tone color and black around his eyes, replicating the makeup worn under the mask. The green resin eye mask (not production-used and likely licensed merchandise) is autographed ‘Van Williams “The Green Hornet”’ and has a gold hornet emblem in the center of the brow. This eye mask is made of three pieces of molded resin joined together at temples. Both the life mask and eye mask have been methodically cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity-controlled art warehouse. As a result, they remain in very good vintage condition.

Green Hornet is the alter ego of newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who fights crime with his trusty confidant, Kato (Bruce Lee).
