bat help

[D. Broughman]

Picked up this bat last week it is 29 1/2 inches long and I think it might say Rochester on it. Any idea of age? Thanks D.

Looking at the thickness of the handle, and the style of the graphics I would say its probably circa 1910. Maybe 1910-20. But what do I know. I could picture Willie Keeler hittin' 'em where they ain't with this little number.

kids bats from 10's to 30's not much value

[WWGjohn]

I agree. The bat looks to be from around 1910 based on the thickness of the handle and general shape. 30" bats from around that time are still collectible. The labeling adds to the desirability. I'd place the value a bit above $30.

Even at that length, would be a nice piece for someone who collects Rochester baseball memorabilia.
