The bucktoothed boy reminds me of Edgar Bergen's Mortimer Snurd
Paul Jung was famouse for his charcter heads, orininally out of paper mache and then he later used something called I think celastic, Chic would be familiar with that product. Jackie LeClaire
Thank Jackie for the intro Silastic "that fantastic plastic" was a coloidal treated fabric made by American Cyanamid as a molding material for the display & scenic trades it was made in several weights & dimensons It started as stiff as a light chipboard & bacame limp as a rag when immersed in MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) which we spent many hours in what now would be a "fatal" invironment by the authorities I honestly still have some Barry Sloan (Yelding) made many similar heads for the Beatty show

Silastic "that fantastic plastic"
was a coloidal treated fabric
made by American Cyanamid as a

It started as stiff as a light
