Sunday Estate Auction Finds

Picked up this Tris Speaker bat today at an auction...I only went to the auction because they listed a Winchester bat on the sale bill. The Winchester was nice, but it was a "Boys Special" model and measured up pretty short. When the bidding came around to the bats they pulled out the Winchester model and I let it go cheap ($65) to a guy I know doesn't give up if he wants something...so they had three more bats and they put all in one lot and sold them for choice...I snagged the Speaker for $50 and let the other two bats go...they were H&B Oil Tempered model and an MR Campbell model. I also snagged a KiKi Cuyler glove for $40 so overall a great day...I may go back as I noticed a Spalding Field Hockey stick in nice shape...it was very old.

The Speaker bat is 33 1/2" and I would guess the weight to be 40+ ounces.









I can't find a manufacturer on the Kuyler glove, but his name is plain as day to read on it.
