This a long but interesting story. To start with we need to go back to the original 1941 Warner Brothers production of The Maltese Falcon starring Humphrey Bogart. Surviving documents and first person accounts confirm that director John Huston was far from pleased when presented with the Original Maltese Falcon prop by Warner Brothers Art Director Robert Haas. The problem with the Falcon was that it looked new. Huston felt this inappropriate for a piece that had been around the world many times in the hands of greedy men. More than 600 years travel should have taken their toll, but as presented the dingus looked like it was literally made yesterday. An Artist in his own right, Huston did a number of sketches depicting how the Original Maltese Falcon should be aged for its appearance on the screen. Following Huston's instructions the Warner Brothers Property Department produced a second, aged original that won the director's OK. The Property Department created lead and plaster castings while Huston and Associate Producer Henry Blanke arranged for an outside modeler to provide a light weight and durable resin casting.
