It’s hard to tell much about this ruined old mask. And it may not be so old, because a few years outside in the elements will do this kind of damage. That shallow hole in the mouth probably had a fake cigar in it. Hopefully one of our Mexican mask enthusiasts will have something helpful to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
