			Gret topic and good timing as I just pulled these out of my closet.  Gary, great bat!  How long is it?  Here are my favorites.  The first is a ring bat, 37 inches long with League in the center.  The second is 41.5 inches long and has a knob that matches another large bat with an 1865 patent date so I believe this is my oldest bat.  I found the first in an old collector's home and the second at an antique store.  The last picture shows the two bats next to a 35 inch store model bat.
