WOW!! Great items everyone!! The Zack Wheat collection and the autographs....wow!!! I especially love the Larry Doyle sidewritten bat. I would love to have that....
My Roy Brashear and Dolly Stark are both game used and date to pre-1915. Both are sidewritten. Given that players used the same bats for extended periods of time (unlike today), it's very possible that my Dolly Stark bat could be the bat that he's holding in his T206 card. How cool is that??
My harry Davis game used bat dates from 1912-1917. It's in remarkable condition and you can see tons of ball marks, cleat marks, etc. It still has remnants from being sent to the bat company to order more.
My Pat Moran bat dates from 1917-21 (after his playing days) and was most likely a coaches bat. He did coach the 1919 Reds against the Black Sox, so who knows what this bat was witness to....
