Antique Catchers Mask?

[scottanservitz]

Any information on the attached photo of a vintage or antique mask? My brother bought it from a lady who sells antiques and has no idea what it is. Is it indeed a vintage catchers mask or something entirely different? Thanks.

ps There is no writing or anything on the padding.

I was told they were used for Basketball.

jwasserman, Awesome photo !

Scottanservitz, I usually sell them for $25 to $35 but the one you pictured looks older than the ones I've handled. Only sharing my experience, others may have gotten more or less for them.

Thanks, Bill. Much appreciated.
