Ertl35 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I found this mask up for sale, the seller does not remember the base make and model (it's custom-made apparently), so I'm hoping you fine people will be able to help. At first glance I thought it was a Warwick, after further research I think it may be a Coveted, but I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It doesn't look to me like a Coveted either... Really no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's not a Warwick, all there mask are signed at the back of the shell. It might be an earlier Coveted though but am not sure if they ever offered custom masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This might be a OTNY mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My guess is something from Simmons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertl35 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 @TitanG @Snowman30 @TheGoalNet Thanks for the help guys. Next question: would it be worth paying $400 US for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you can get confirmation on the build specs. If not, you're probably better off going with something else (Protechsport, an actual Coveted or OTNY or Sportmask, etc.).

Keeps33 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Can you get a better shot of it from a side view? That Dangler is also hiding the shape a a bit to me. It looks to be a fresh refurb as well-The cage may not be original to it with that being said. I kind of think it could be a Gary Hanson built mask, Hextall wore one briefly with Quebec and Wade Flaherty wore one as well way back when. A better picture of it from the side may yield a better answer. (Also ask him if he had it refurbbed) if it's a Hanson give him the $400 and run.

Snowman30 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The part am finding hard to believe is it's custom made but doesn't remember who did it. To me it kind of throws a red flag up that the person might know it's a lower end mask and is trying to make some extra coin off the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircanuck Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's a Concussor 9x. The 8x had the chin cup strap placed 2mm lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if it might be a Heaton (look at BC30's post at the bottom of this old GSBB page), but I think the ridges (particularly the ones all the way on the side, above the ear) don't really match. The mask you posted has the sides pretty 'flush' with the crown, if that makes sense. I would agree that unless you know exactly what you're buying, $400 US is way too much for that mask. You can get a custom-fit Protechsport for less, assuming you don't need the mask immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estogoalie Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 $400 for an old mask that can't even be identified is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'm lost on what it is as well. In my opinion, you can spend $400 in other places and know what you're getting. I would pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Yeah even those pictures don't help any. Honestly am leaning towards a Simmons model that looks to be refurbished ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Really doubt this is custom. This mask was laid up in a negative mold. One-off masks are typically done straight off a positive plug. Probably was mass produced at to some degree (or was intended to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstew29 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Check the ear vents. Rounded right triangle like an orange slice. Any ideas who makes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 dstew29 - pretty sure that one is a promask https://www.promask.com/en/ seem to recall them being branded as Reebok in Europe early on Ertl35 - based on the top of the cage, shape and the obvious full layer of kevlar from the visible frayed edge - i'm going to guess a promasque that's been repadded on the inside to lose the air bladder (definitely not a Warwick or Coveted) http://promasque.com/index2.htm that's my best stab (disclaimer - i don't own one so i might not be the subject matter expert) - if not that my next guess would be some weird one-off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's strange to me that someone would spend a couple hundred dollars on a "custom" item and not know, or forget the make or model. I definitely would not pay $400 for it. The fact that it's missing any kind of identifying badging makes this even more suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also usually only have one vent over each ear. I could be completely wrong though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spent 10-15 min searching for it but i gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick5 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The mask in question is not a Gary Hanson Mask, unless he redesigned years later. I do have a Gary Hanson mask and the chin is flat under the cage. . Most other masks have a curvature to accommodate larger chin cup. Gary’s masks used a traditional white padded Football Chin Strap that I wore in College in the early 80’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
