Well, I guess you could in fact make one without too much trouble... thank you, Carlton (but please don't give the bad guys any ideas!)
There was lots of talk recently in this forum about fake/reproduced Lemon Peel Balls. Makes you wonder if the same is being done with other vintage equipment. I know this Mask to be old, based on its materials and construction. Plus, it was offered along with an equally old (yet beat-up) Catchers Mitt of the period... found together.
Tough to fake some of this stuff... although I'm starting to see those Repro leather football helmets being artificially aged, and sold as authentic. I'm guessing Baseballs would be the easiest form of equipment to pass off as antique. It would sure be nice if ebay would terminate those auctions, the way they do for phony autographs. Very disturbing trend, either way.
