Auction Sites For Early Baseball Bats

[smass]

I would like to start collecting baseball bats from around the late 1800's to the early 1920's. Don't know a thing about them or the best place to get them. All I know about is Ebay and I saw Mears on the net. Are these good sources? any others?

Thanks for your advice.

I can only help with the Mains bats and maybe a little with some other Maine produced bats.

Thank you, Rawn. I just went on Google and was able to find a few Mains Dolley bats that had been auctioned on Ebay and a few other sites in the past couple of years. They seem pretty rare and interesting.

MEARS is a very good source. Knowledgeable. I've bought from them a few times, including bats, and had no trouble with shipping, product etc.

Thank you, I have been checking their site and will follow for their next auction.
