Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Monster Bob]

I am wondering if the lamp-with-base was a last ditch effort to use a dying mold. Look how thick and sloppy the mold line is compared to the others.

It's on the top of my list. Hopefully with in a year i'll have one.

Within a year! I'll be satisfied if I can score my holy grails before earthlings land on Mars! From what I've read about this bucket, wishing and hoping won't get you the thing. You're going to have to be more flexible in your methods.

Horror101 you can save a mere $26 every two weeks and this time next year you will have $700 to put towards your very own bucket. Use your pirate pumpkin bucket as your bank!

The Frankenstein Light pictured is mine.  (So is the crumby picture, sorry.)  It was obviously made from a different mold, as the hair completely covers the top of the head.  The base is not a separate piece.  It was all molded just as seen.

The Frankenstein Buckets had a large circle on top where no hair was present.  That was the cut line.  I assume that the buckets were all hand cut after molding the head.  If a worker did a sloppy job or had his knife slip, he could even it all out by just cutting the hole a little bigger all the way around.  That could account for bucket hole size variance.

The Frankenstein Speaker Head had a much smaller hole to accomodate the little speaker.  The central area where the hair stops is correspondingly smaller.

It looks to me like the three models were made with three distinctly different molds.

I'd like to know what became of the original molds.

That's a cool light to have man. Do you live in the east coast or get it from there?

That's a good thought or maybe it came years later.

That's a great idea man.

This is the lamp.

sweet! does it have the electrical inside, if so is the switch on the cord?

[darkmonkeygod]

Isn't there is also another style of lamp which doesn't have the pedestal?

ya look one or 2 pages back and you can see Monster Bob's fine example.
