Mask Stands

Metal 'Y' stands, metal 'T' stands, metal helmet mask stands; custom metal stands, and other display stands for masks. Custom stands available upon request. The stands currently listed are a broad assortment of the styles we carry. All of our stands feature exclusive bevel edged bases, custom finishes and "clean" welds. Stands standardly come painted a black textured that resists fingerprints. You can save $5 by ordering stands w/out paint or you can choose from a variety of other paint colors (call us!).

We now have a new standmaker producing the best quality stands we've offered (after interviewing over thirty metalworkers). These are heavy-duty, nicely finished stands that are very versatile. Note that metal prices have increased dramatically in the last two years so we've increased the cost of some stands by a few dollars. We honestly believe that our stands are an excellent value for the money and that you won't find a better quality or made stand on the market.

A note on shipping / packing: First, stands are heavy and can be expensive to ship - we only charge actual shipping charges PLUS insurance and signature conformation. Stands can be shipped via EITHER USPS Priority mail (more expensive, but assured to arrive safe and usually in 2-3 days AFTER we ship) or DHL. We do not ship stands via UPS or FEDEX GROUND.

MOST stands require us to purchase a NEW custom box and require about 1/2 hour to pack, however we do not charge a box and handling fee. We offer our stands at competetive prices (we don't make much on stands!) and feel ours are the best quality and cleanest stands available. Sure, you can buy other stands on the web for as little as $20 - but I GUARANTEE YOU they are not even close to the quality of our stands.

Please allow up to one week for stands to be pulled from our warehouse prior to shipment, up to 2 weeks for delivery. We will notify you if stands are out of stock and will not be available within a week. If you need stands by a specific date or for an event, please let us know in the comment section. Prices quoted for shipping stands MAY not be accurate at checkout but it is usually close - we reserve the right to charge actual shipping rates.

If one of our "stock" stands won't fit your mask, just give us a call and we can make you a custom stand to your specifications. See samples of CUSTOM MADE MASK STANDS. Allow 2-3 weeks fabrication time for custom orders. Custom mask stands are charged by the hour, at $95/hour plus materials. MUSEUM QUALITY STANDS available - with 1/2" steel bases and 3/4" rods - prices are about double but well worth the investment.
