West Chester HB&D Baseball 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

I have an early "Walloper" Bat. But is was made by Wright & Ditson (out of MA, I believe...)

Beautiful thick-handled Bat with deeply engraved W&D Centerbrand. But perhaps not what you are looking for, it seems.

Do let me know if interested, and best of luck!

Thanks for the reply, Mark. It is not the Walloper I’m looking for. The West Chester version has a trademark that is clearly stamped “West Chester Walloper.”

Cheers, Mike

Still looking for bats manufactured in West Chester, PA by Hoopes Bros. & Darlington--HB&D. The trademark will identify the bat as either a Walloper, Bates or Wonder.

Please contact me if you have one for sale: mpeich12@gmail.com

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Mike
