  • Patent number: 4464440
    Abstract: An improved trophy mount is provided for inexpensively displaying horns, antlers and the like, in a life-like, three-dimensional fashion. The mount preferably includes a simulated skull structure, configured to resemble the upper portion of the head of the animal involved, with the simulated skull encapsulated in a material, such as leather, vinyl, or other sheet material, to enhance its realistic appearance. The simulated skull includes a pair of upraised laterally spaced, horn-securing regions, an elongated bore in each region, and an elongated, horn-receiving dowel secured in each bore and protruding therefrom. Preferably, the simulated skull is secured to a plaque or support panel by an elongated, obliquely-oriented extension brace for display on a wall or table top. For mounting, the horns are removed from the animal at the base, where the horns join the head of the animal.
