WTB: H.B. & D. West Chester, PA bats
 

I would like to acquire a West Chester Walloper baseball bat. The bats were manufactured in West Chester, PA (1950s), by Hoopes Brothers & Darlington wheel works, manufacturers of wooden wheels and wheel spokes. If anyone has a Walloper looking for a good home, please contact me: mpeich12@gmail.com.

Many thanks,
Mike

Another bump to clarify that I am still hoping to acquire bats produced in West Chester, PA by H.B. & D., Inc (Hoopes, Bros. & Darlington). The Walloper is the best known of their bats, but there were other models as well. I'm researching the bat's production and would like to own an example or two to assist my thinking. Here is a trademark from a Walloper.

Thanks, too, to Steve at Keyman Collectibles for his suggestions. Unfortunately I am not on Facebook so can't interact with a number of bat collectors who also post on Net54. I'd be happy to hear from anyone at my email address.

Many thanks for taking the time to read,
Mike
