My new mask!


Thought we could use this section for all the charming rare platic masks that are becoming so collectable and valueable. Anyone seen the price of a vintage Mylecs or Coopers lately?

Here is a mask I received today I think it is either a Marietta (made in Texas) or a Winwell but it came from the US and was originally bought in Chicago according to the owner so I am thinking it is a Marietta. Perhaps some of the experts here can chime in and help...

Marietta - now that's a name from the past -Didn't Plante wear one in practce sessions before the Birchmore model.

Gary Kurt used to cut out his earlier masks just like that - his Seals mask for instance.

It looks like a Winwell but I'm certainly not sure. I used to play against a goalie regularly who wore one back in the day. A funny story about him comes to mind - one game against him I see his teammates holding him by the shoulders and escorting to and from the nets. Between periods I go over and say hey Rob - what is wrong that you need help. He shows me one leg with a cast from hip to ankle. I go what the f..k -he comes back with a classic line - Steve-its the latest in stand-up goaltending.

Well it looks really similar to this Marietta. But could it just be like Different Distribution in different countries and might the WInnwell be the same mask?

Here's a Marietta.. I think I just like saying it MARIETTAAAAAA@!!!

I think the key now is to dig out an old catalog or ad with a Winwell model and compare - it certainly does look like the one on the bottom.

They look exactly the same:
In the Ken Dryden Pretzel posts I've put up, this is the kind of mask I suspect that Dryden's mask was made from or used as a reference.

I have a Winwell that looks practically identical, though possibly smaller than the pictures above.
