"Boston Rink" c1880 41" Hockey Stick? or something else..
       41" long I saw this at the National and really liked it...but passed...The dealer still had it so last week so I bought it....it came yesterday...I know nothing about hockey or hockey sticks I just like it...It's got a printed marking on the handle "Boston Rink"....The patina, the condition, and especially the marking all had me...Gave $300.00 for it...  http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrar...2/jsh3302e.pdf Because of the Boston Rink marking I assumed it was a hockey stick...But then I showed it to Stephen Hardy a hockey historian and he thinks it may have been for "roller polo"...He sent me a PDF of a paper he did on Roller Polo...I haven't read it all yet but it sounds like the sport was hugely popular in the late 19th century, link above...
