A male nurse's "Eye of the Beholder" makeup appliance from Rod Serling's classic sci-fi series The Twilight Zone. In the iconic Season 2 episode "Eye of the Beholder," pig-faced nurses caring for Janet Tyler (Maxine Stuart) were repulsed to discover she had altered her once-perfect porcine appearance.

The "pig face" appliances were created by prolific Hollywood makeup artist William Tuttle. This piece has been lovingly preserved for over 60 years by the family of makeup artist Grant "Bob" Keate, who worked on the episode and retained it as a memento. This appliance is made from foam latex hand-painted in two tones of fleshy pink. A modern copy of a photograph of Keate applying makeup for the episode is included, along with three vintage black-and-white photographs of Keate applying the Gremlin's (Nick Cravat) makeup appliance for the episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet." Original artifacts from this beloved show are extremely scarce; this piece is fresh-to-market and carries crew member provenance. The appliance is in delicate condition with cracking, stiffening, discoloration, and should be handled with care. Dimensions: 3" x 3.5" x 2" (7.75 cm x 9 cm x 5 cm)

Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000
