Huge fan of the book and film (Huston/Bogart) version.

The only thing I've got is one of those crappy knockoffs of the Black Bird version of the dingus.

Badge / wallet (and ephemera) was from a run Eltee and someone else did a few years ago.

With all the people on this forum we stand a good chance of getting someone to do another run .
its not that difficult a prop basically a badge thats the majority of the prop . I would take a resin one if need be .

Now I KNOW you are not suggesting that you'd "recast" my original (with partner) designs, would you? :)

If there is adequate interest, I would ask my cohort to consider another short run. We did a TON of research and being a cop in SF got me access to lots of data. The card designs, etc. are all era correct and use real addresses, the license is an accurate reproduction of the era correct real one, etc. I have some interesting stories re. SFPD and the "original" dingus that John's Grill had, and lost, that I have to wait until one more guy retires before I can share.

I worked with SCTCARTS on this and several other badge and ID sets. This was a fun one since I am such a Hammett fan. The weathered looking leather badge cases were handmade by him. The badges were made by a commercial police badge maker using an era correct design.

Here's a pic of the complete set as we offered it SO long ago. I contacted SCTCARTS (Cory) and he's willing to reconsider a short run of these if there is enough interest.

Come on I started the thread to bring Some collectors together . I have been a member of the Fedora Lounge for years . That was uncalled for thats like a four letter word around here ;/ lets just act like you misunderstood and left that out and move on to this Amazing piece of cinema history I am more then happy to be first on the list ! Will look amazing next to my
MK ;) Such a great set come on guys lets get this one running .
 
I have a plaster Falcon that was sold in the 70s in the back of magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland, etc. Anyone familiar with that one? And know who made it?
And are there replicas available now?
