    This strange face watched me shop for hours so it only felt fair that I take it home. I was told it may be a head from a jack in the box drive through but I haven't seen anything similar. It about a 14 inch sphere with mesh covered opening for its head eyes and nose as well as an additional opening at the top of it's head toward the back. Hollow with a wooden support ring now loosely tucked inside. It has lightning bolts on too of it's head though one is missing

      I didn't mention that for ears he has two small lines. In research that is exactly what reddy kilowatt should have. Thank you so so much. Again I am amazed at the depth if knowledge here.

      What do you suppose this is? Given the mesh eyes and mouth and what I believe is a vent hole at the top my guess would be a costume helmet with the internal wood ring possibly resting on top of the wearers head.

      It's mine. I've been wondering where it was, haven't been thinking at all lately.
