			Kevin, that is a FANTASTIC bat  I've never seen another in 25 years of collecting. The deep branding, grip, and patina are outstanding. Congratulations on a real show stopper.

			The handle is a reeded type material and not carved . Spalding produced these 1895-1900 era Yours is in great condition and as long as it is not cracked I would sell it for $1500-1700 maybe higher to the right person Last edited by murphusa; 01-24-2016 at 12:15 PM. |

			This is the 3rd of these that I have seen unless this was one of the other 2.  Jim the handle is lathed this way and is not the leather or twined rap like you are thinking.  I believe the bat to be from the 1908-early teens.  Haven't seen it in the catalogs but haven't specifically looked either.  Definitely a rare bat.

			I would also differ on the dating period. The price would be awesome  though.
