It's definitely not for football use as by this time you had very specific leather football helmets. I have a black leather Buco similar to yours that was for motorcycle use. This skullcap design was widely used early on for both motorcycle and aviation users. Darin

Todd, I didn't notice until you pointed them out that yours has ear pads. That would lead me to lean more towards aviation use, but as I said they were used for both. My Buco does not have padded ears, and has the same buckle strap as yours does. Mine also has the small button straps behind the ears, which I've always assumed were to hold goggle straps in place.
