Lot 93                1920s Beistle Devil Face Band Hat Mask
Beistle issued a lot of party hat designs, but few are as compelling as this devil face band hat mask. In all my many years of collecting, I had never seen one outside of an example photographed for Lavin’s Timeless Halloween Collectibles compilation. This design was first launched in 1921. This band hat mask measures ~12” high by ~11.5” across. The honeycomb interior is largely intact although the exposed tips are disheveled. The devil’s chin is soft, else he is a fearsome fellow. The cut-out nose appears never to have been moved.
