I typically stick to cards and autographs but I have the opportunity to purchase this signed catcher's mitt... I just have no idea who it is signed by or how old it is or any idea on value. Hopefully you can help!

EDIT: took me a while to figure out how to post an image!

Name looks like Johnny Bench, maybe?

Definitely a Banner Sporting Goods buckle back catchers mitt from the late 1930's or early 1940's so it's surely not a Johnny Bench. I can't quite make out the endorsement though. Sorry.

Looks like Lon Warneke...did they put pitchers on catcher mitts?
