A Mole Man head appliance from Lee Sholem's superhero film Superman and the Mole Men. Superman (George Reeves) encountered a group of Mole Men whose underground dwelling was disturbed by the drilling of the world's deepest oil well.

The lot consists of a latex bald cap painted in pink flesh tones with thick brown hair around the sides and back, a black velveteen mannequin display head, and a matching black plaque engraved "Actual Headpiece from the 1951 film, 'Superman and the Mole Men,' starring George Reeves." It is fragile, and exhibits wear from age and production use with scuffing and flaking to the paint, loose hairs, and tearing latex around the appliance's edges. Dimensions: 9" x 8" x 6" (22.75 cm x 20.25 cm x 15.25 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
