    Do you remember Topstone rubber masks?

    I am writing a book about the Topstone rubber mask company. Did you grow up with Topstone masks? Do you have memories of wearing these floppy, balloon-thin latex masks on Halloween? And, most important, do you have childhood PHOTOS of you and your friends wearing Topstone masks? If so, I would like to talk to you!

    Here is a newspaper article that sums up what I am doing:



    I have spent the last three years tracking down former Topstone employees, interviewing them about their experiences working for the company. Now I have shifted into the next phase of interviews, focusing on people who grew up with these masks. So if that's you, let me know.

    That is really cool. I loved Halloween masks when I was a kid.

      It seems no one here has memories of these masks! That is hard to believe. Maybe some photos will jog your memory. Did you grow up with masks like these?

            I missed this first time around, God speed with your research Ray.

            I never had a single topstone but I remember this image vividly as a kid.

                So, that button Brian posted looks like the werewolf mask advertised for years in comics. I never knew that was a Topstone. In fact, I never heard of them until I saw your posts at UMA, Ray.

                Those pictures are priceless. I love seeing this type of stuff. Good luck with the book!
