Sure glad I was not in the business way back when.  This form is from a deer mounted in 1947.  It is hollow and made of a heavy paper or cardboard.
Anyone know anything about this form, please respond.

here are a few more pictures.  The cape was in pretty decent shape, but, a dog got at the nose and ears.

Back in the 50s my best friends dad made his own. He had plaster casts that he then made his forms out of paper. Jonas Brothers had paper forms similar to that. I have two deer mounted with old paper forms. One of them looks like a dog with the eyes located way forward.
