Ring Bat
John, Clint, DRC, Matt: Thanks so much for your input. As I said, baseball bats at not my area of expertise, but when I saw the bat sitting in a barrel at an antique store I thought it might be some form of ring bat. At a cost of $5, I wasn't taking much of a risk. In the absence of any markings, I would agree that it is probably home-made. Without question, it is the earliest piece of baseball memorabillia I have come across. Pretty cool.
