That mask was originally made by Cressi in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is based on the their Pinocchio mask that was one of the first low volume masks.
OP
More info:
Here is a clip for the Undersea Industry catalog, which was a short-lived division of ScubaPro in 1968.
Here is a clip of the Pinocchio mask from the 1960 Healthways catalog:
It is now the IST M37 PEGASUS, in the US anyway. I'm not sure if they bought the tooling or just import it. I used one in the late 1960s. There is no oral-nasal so it is a mouth-breather only.

@Duke Dive Medicine used one in the Navy more recently than I have. It is an inexpensive option in cold or contaminated water if you don't need comms.
they are still available. I bought a new one last year....
with a concern of dead space C02, it is my approach to mount a mouthpiece on the regulator inside the mask...
YMMV
YMMV
OP
Could be MOF problem every time I surface! 
I'm pondering an implementation with my Double Hose...... the VDH DSV can likely be connected to this.
Let the fun begin!
