Description
Found this Skull at a Antiques Fair over the weekend.
My brother and I had a couple when we were kids that we got from the Disneyland Magic shop. I have been looking for a similar one for a few years.
Turns out, when I got home and got a good look at it, I found a makers mark on it. RANDOTTI ©1974. After some quick research, turns out this IS the brand that was made for and sold at Disneyland!
I have read there are some replicas out there, so I am trying to confirm this is an original. Though I paid very little for it either way. Stoked to have him in my bookcase.
Its about 7" tall and weighs about 4 lbs.
PS I should add this is a 2 shot Exposure Fusion in Photomatix

As Rudyard Kipling said "Things are back to where they came". And Richard Bach would say that you called it to you. It,s just the magic of childhood, still alive into you. Great find and great shot. I love Comp. and light!
Great find!
Like the set up and composition my friend. Outstanding photography. God Bless.
When I commented on this on Flickr I didn't realise it was you. Great set-up!
Be it a warning to you - if you read BIG books like that, here is what can happen to you! A very good photo!
This one needs a bit more than CPR, Nice work.
A very cool addition to your bookcase and an excellent capture of it.
Fantastic composition and shot. Excellent details!
Excellent composition and contexts for this still-life! :)
