I'm not nearly as familiar with the Hammer films as I am with Universal, so I'm not sure if this is from "Horror of Dracula" or not.

Kong in a Junkyard?

This is what appears to a prop of King Kong from the 1976 version of the film.  The film had a scene which used a giant animatronic Kong and this looks to be the mold of that animatronic.  If anyone has more info on what this actually is, please let us know.
