Default Dating baseball bats

Posted By: hankron

Can't be more specific than the ring bats were popular in the 1880s-90s.

That's about the clearest picture of the rings and Spalding logo on a bat in a vintage photo you will ever find anywhere. In general, the presence of a ring bat will give a boost in value to a 19th century photo, in part because baseball equipment collectors like to have old photos of the stuff they collect. This detail gives a strong premium in value.
