Vintage Catchers Mask Identification Help
 

Hello! I picked this vintage catchers mask up from Goodwill because it just looked so darn cool, and I wanted to see if any experts here might be able to give me an idea of make, how old it might be, etc. The bars don't look like they're welded, and the padding feels like it could be filled with horsehair. There are no markings anywhere on the mask, except for a number 1726 printed on the inside bottom pad.

Any thoughts/comments would be very much appreciated! Thank you!
