Before the film was released, The Burbank Studios/Warner Bros took the REAL Maltese Falcon statuette from the 1941 version and made a model of it. They cast it in plaster, painted it flat black, wrapped it in Chinese newspaper and burlap (as per the Bogart movie), and mailed it to press reviewers as a gimmicky press promotion. They were all numbered and inscribed on the bottom, up to number 250, with EA-TBS (The Burbank Studios). Then somebody made a model from THAT one and sold them in book and movie shops, but the detail was lost in the process.
