I picked up a this group of bats at an auction earlier today. I am more of a football guy, but I really love the look and feel of the spalding ring bat. The others in the group are a Spalding P3 bat, a Goldsmith bat with ring on the end (is it proper to still call this a ring bat or does it post-date that term?), a Reach Burley decal bat, and a thick handled bat with no visible maker mark but does have something marked/written on the barrel. I posted a closeup of the writing; Can anyone make it out? I am guessing its the original bat owner's last name. I am posting a seperate post about the Spalding ring bat, with some closeups, questions.
