But the farm/railroad tool can be purchased for $1.00 to $200.00. But because it was broken and reused as a baseball bat does not make it a $500 to $1000.00 item

The fact that Spalding was a bat maker and took a wagon tongue and repurposed it as a bat and marked it as such is a different story

Most if not all Spalding Wagon Tongue bats that I have handled were 34" to
42"

Most of the pictured railroad bats are 32" which even for the time would be considered a child's or young adult bat
