Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Hi-<br /> I apologize in advance if the bat scanned below is just some 1930s or later child's bat that is better used for firewood then kept for a collection (that is my current assumption). I did not pay much for it (a dollar) but it struck me because of the knob and the appearence of a flat part of the barrel (I tried to scan it below). Could any one please help me with the following questions?<br />1. Approximately how old is this bat?<br />2. What are the telling signs?<br />3. Is this a child's model?<br />4. What is the purpose of the flat side of the barrel?<br />5. Any other information would be greatly appreciated.<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Alan Elefson<br />aelefson@hotmail.com<br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/September1200812.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/September1200813.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/September1200816.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/September1200817.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>a flat side could mean that it's a fungo bat or some kind of training bat. What is the length? Approx. weight?

Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Mark-<br /> It is fairly light (in my opinion) and is 25.5 inches long (approximately), I will try to post a picture of it in the next couple of days. I really appreciate the assistance.<br />Thanks,<br />Alan Elefson<br />aelefson@hotmail.com<br />
