The Real Maltese Falcon ™ Statue Prop and 48 similar items

The Maltese Falcon "The stuff that dreams are made of." Here is your chance to own the most famous literary bird of all time, the Original Maltese Falcon offered here in medium-weight, super strong, solid reinforced polyurethane resin. Ours is the original casting mold. We have been the only authentic source since 1963, and this is THE REAL MALTESE FALCON! With the right size, the right look, and the right weight, we have the only original mold casting of The Maltese Falcon ! Make no mistake, this is no amateur-made sculpture or "artist's rendering." Skip to the bottom to see how to quickly identify those. However, one way to instantly identify a statue made from our original mold is its height: Ours stand one foot tall, measuring 12 inches in height, as seen in the movie. Many cheap knockoffs are 8 inches or smaller. This is the same casting mold that was used to make the original Maltese Falcon in the film. It even weighs the same as the dingus in the movie. We acquired the original cast at auction in 1963. A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with your purchase. This resin-cast Maltese Falcon is guaranteed against chips, breaks, or damage for the original purchaser's lifetime. No plaster or stone cast Falcon can offer this guarantee. This is truly a gift that will last a lifetime. Beware of cheap imitations, knock-offs, and "artistic renderings." Ways to visually identify these: The base upon which the falcon is perched is cut in half. The height of the statue is only 10 inches. (It should stand one foot tall.) There are only 9 rows of feathers on the imitation, the original has 12 (from neck to legs). Also, the fake bird is depicted wearing a falconer's cap, leaving only 3 rows of feathers on the back of the falcon's head. On the original, there are 6 rows. Another tell-tale sign is the tail feathers. They extend to the bottom of the base on the original. (Look at our photograph of Bogart holding the falcon and looking at it. You can clearly see that the tail feathers extend to the bottom of the base, which is not cut in half.) Even the wings are incorrect on the back of the knock-off statue: They should cross evenly, not with one wing covering the other. Our Maltese Falcon matches the stills and promotional photos because it's identical to the one in the classic film. Your original custom-made falcon is made to order and usually takes 1 to 10 days for delivery. (That's nothing. Gutman waited over 17 years for his.)
