I'm curious... If you don't mind me asking, what's your earliest item?
Also, great bats... What's your best/favorite??
Thanks in advance for indulging me.

Thank you for the kind words Brent.
My earliest pieces are the gas lamps for 1878 (Hartford and Chicago)
These Villeroy and dishes are from the 1880s. I have two plates and two tumblers from the set.
Regarding bats. I love them, but have sold off many of the most valuable to fund other areas of my collection. My best (favorites now) are my mushroom knobs (Spalding and Pennant), ball knob (Piper), and a really long 1880s round knob (second from the right is this pic). Sorry I don't have pics of the Mushroom knobs at this moment.
