Looking for info on a W.E. Mains bat
 

I may have asked this before, but I lost the email from the guy who contacted me. (Sorry)

I was looking for something else, found this bat in the pile, and suddenly remembered I never did figure out the date.

Trying to figure out the date on this W.E. Mains bat. I have not seen this particular logo before.

I am 99% sure it says: W.E. Mains Sandy Creek Maine
Barrel: No. 00

Thanks,
Sean

Length, weight, and maybe a pic of the whole bat. Even then I can't help but might help others help you.:D

Oh, I will have to get that tonight; although I am not sure how much help that will be.
It is a full sized bat, with no stamping other than these.

KeyMan has some information

you may have already seen this website but I remembered seeing this a while back when I went looking for some information on my WE Main's baseball bat that has a Bridgeton,ME, logo.
It appears that you've got an older bat.
If you're interested in selling it, don't hesitate to contact me.

I did see that, thank you.

But as you pointed out, the logo is very different than theirs. So I am trying to figure out the time period. Perhaps this is one of his earliest bats? Or maybe even one from his playing days? I don't know?

Here is the rest of the bat.
Kind of nondescript, nothing on the knob.

But any information would be great.

Thanks for the help that everyone contributed already.

Mains Bats
 

I've returned many bats to the Mains family as they live nearby. I can let them know this is out there.

Mains Bats
 

Sandy Creek was the shop in Bridgton, Maine, they also had shops in Harrison and Fryburg. I got the bats that I had to Jim Mains, The grandson and son of J. R. who pitched in one game in the Majors also.

Thanks!
Do you think he will know the date on this one?

Sean

I would say 1900 to 1910
