Yep, credit also goes to Paul for providing us the opportunity to take a crack at restoring it. Another pic:

Re: NEW 89 Cowl... the Real Deal

Re: NEW 89 Cowl... the Real Deal
ok who needs an updated lesson in molding??
LOL
whats with the supper jagged ???
Someone with more 89 knowledge than myself pipe up
... the ears seem thinner and smaller?
or maybe its cause the long devil eared version of the cowl is the only one in my head cause I'm not a keaton guy
--- And what’s ten years? Well, it’s roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.

haha.. that is the master I was given to work with bud, I'll email you a pic of how it looked when I got it... so I have not made my mold yet.
As for the ears, I had one complete ear and half of the other when I started. As you can see the ears match now, so these ears are how this real, studio foam 89 cowl were....whether or not there were different versions of the cowl used in the film is up for debate.
I believe Paul has an idea, (or at least educated guess), which sequence this cowl was used for when shooting.

Re: NEW 89 Cowl... the Real Deal
Jay took out his weiner and piddled on 6months of research and restoration done by both mrX and myself, so now I have to show another pic to close the case.
Between the two of us, (X and I), we have had our hands on every real cowl from every film, and I can tell you they all had ears right around 4 1/4 " on the cowls from 89 to Clooney. Bobs cowl, (universally know as the best available until recently), has ears 3 7/8". So at 4 1/4, these are bang on.
Here is further evidence of just how real this cowl is:
