Clinton Frankenstein bucket

Thats a real beaut, certainly rivals the 2500 BIN on ebay now, so it has a manufacturers hole in the bottom, big deal.   And its got better flashing than the current lamp on ebay, also with hole, lol.

You chatting about the lamp one with the stand cut off bottom ?

[hugohernandez]

Yes I am, that lamp has big flashing right down the middle and I wonder if it is as thick as the buckets, looks a little flimsy.   LOL

Was not sure because you mentioned hole in bottom. That lamp had base cut off. Really sad.

I thought the lamps were 2 seperate pieces!?!?!?!?

If you like FRANKENSTEIN or HALLOWEEN, who then wouldn't want a Glenn Strange FRANKENLIGHT?!!!  Never saw one in person.  That's as cool as monster collecting is, all flavored for HALLOWEEN!   Let's see his face... 

[hugohernandez]

now that he has been severed from his neck LOL, I wonder what he will fetch?

I am voting that is a factory cut, aka it was sold that way. It is a clean cut, not like some homey would do.  One mold, two products. The base (which always looks crooked) sawed off, and the head is ready for your average fixture or light Post in the front yard. That also would explain the weird fading often seen.

Look closer at the picture with hole.  That Frankenhead was sawed off by hand.  It is NOT a clean cut.

From a photo, you can't tell 100%. And keep in mind, that bottom hole lip has been set down and banged around a bit in 50 years, which could soften the look and the edge a lot, in average wear.

I would like to see you personally make a cut that clean, using anything you can.

Go to the auction and use the eBay magnifier to get a close look at the cut.  It is NOT clean.  Here's an easy to use link:

A Dinky company making 29c Frankenstein heads would only be so concerned with a perfect cut. Like not at all. Look at the paint job. Look at the bases on the different based ones. They're terrible- crooked and a bit lopsided. Everything about the manufacture of these is crude.

If you look closely at the cut surface, you see tiny parallel scratch lines- it was cut with a large heavy blade of some sort aka industrial. The average Halloween Happy yo-yo would have attempted/used a saw or knife. Factory cut.
