Vintage catcher's mask
 

I found this mask at a local antique mall. It had a tag on it that said "Circa 1940" and a price of 135. I paid 100 for it because I think it is cool, and I will most likely use it as a decoration in my office. They had some other old stuff, gloves and such, but this piece called to me.

I know almost nothing about vintage gear. I know there is a lot of knowledge here. Can anyone tell me anything at all about this? Thanks.
