From the earlier days of the American pastime, we offer a desirable collection of 19th century bats totaling 5. Included, we have; circa-1880s bat, 35 1/2" with thick barrel and handle, with a acorn type knob and black stripe painted at the base of the handle. Good use is shown with one side lighter in colour; circa 1880s/90s 30" youth sized bat with black and red rings, with lathe marks on the knob, moderate to heavy use shown; circa-1880 bat, 33 1/2" with thinner barrel and handle, very small knob, and orange and black rings. The bat appears to have been covered in green paint long ago, with most worn away. Heavy use is shown with hairline cracks from age; circa 1890s bat, 33" with fairly thick barrel and black painted end and ring, with a crack line to the barrel; circa 1880s/90s bat, 35 1/2" with a small knob and antique-style handle to barrel shape (unlike modern bats). The bat is in excellent condition, and may have been refinished at some point.
