I got this Cowl back in 2004 at a yard sale, in magnificent condition, over the years i have treated it very gingerly. It originally had the "footed" symbol attached to the neck, which i removed, so i know its from 1989 as they changed the symbol after that and removed the "feet" from it.
I wanted to refurbish it but latex wont stick to it. I gently washed it and still no dice. Maybe i didnt wash it right but these pics were taken after it dried, as you can see it is in very nice condition.
It is dry to the touch, not sticky like latex, it is dull almost on all parts even the inside except for a few spots on the ears, soft flexible foamed material. The only part that resembles a latex "feel" is in the nose area on the inside.
The inside is a lighter shade and almost yellowish but still black in color and the obviousness of its foam nature is seen easily.
Does anyone know what material this was made from? I remember seeing similar ones halloween 1990s on the shelves of Spencer's and some other halloween shops.
