Here are some pics of a few of my spline bats, all of which date from the 1890's and earlier. These are bats made from two or more separate pieces of wood, sometimes of different types. First is a presentation type bat from around 1890 (similar to one pictured in the book by Hauser, Turner, & Gennantonio). Second is a 37" poplar wood bat from around 1880. Third is a bottle type bat from the 1880's.

If you have some, I'd really like to see them.
