It probably was the Catcher. One sold in Lelands for $7000.

Leland's says that Trophy was made between 1915-1920, but based on the look of the mask wouldn't you put this trophy closer to 1930?

Re: What a stupid idea!!!
Humm..I think you may be right. I think I recall that this style of mask was invented by an umpire around 1920. Here is a pic from a Reach 1926 catalog with the exact same mask. I don't have any examples earlier than this, but I don't think this style of mask was around in 1915.
