Default c1889-90 Spalding Catalog - WAGON TONGUE BAT questions
Posted By: CarltonHendricks

Below is the front cover of a c1889-90 Spalding catalog. On the crossed bats are the words "WAGON TONGUE"....can someone tell me the significance of that? Were they actually made out of wagon tongues? Would anyone have one of these wagon tongue bats that they could post photos of? Interestingly I don't see anything mentioned about Wagon Tongue bats in the catalog copy....though I didn't shoot the whole catalog
Thanks -Carlton
