FS: Antique Baseball Bats (1880s-1900s)
 

Hello everyone!

I have been in the process of thinning out areas of my collection and as such, I have four (4) antique baseball bats that I am looking to sell.

I was unable to properly attach photos to this thread, so I went ahead and provided a brief description of each bat, along with a link to my eBay listings in which they are featured. Again, I hope you do not mind the links, but I at least wanted to ensure that pictures were provided.

I am willing to offer very fair discounts to those in the community, so please feel free to send over offers. Also, if interested in all four, I would be willing to make a great deal!

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, as I would be happy to address any that you have. Thank you and please take care! - Josh
