Vintage Chalkware Skull Hand Painted Bank Rare WWII German Helmet Mexico READ. Old piece from an estate. Made of a chalkware or plaster material. Skull wearing a WWII German helmet. There’s a symbol on the helmet we covered up but you can get an idea of what it is in the other pictures. Super eye-catching piece and nearly life-size! Really good condition with just one hole in the side of the helmet. The hole is about the size of a dime. No date on the piece but believe this to be possibly made in the 1970’s. Measures 6.5″ long x 7.5″ wide x 9.5 tall. From a smoke-free home.
