Pretty crazy...I'd never heard of a flong until a couple of days ago...Mike posted a video a day later to explain them...then, the following night, I'm watching This Old House and they find them in the walls.

Here's a nice 1860s baseball cdv I recently picked up. It's hard to see, but it says, "Get Up & Git" on their bats. I haven't been able to find anything on that yet.

Great cdv Gary. Hope you track down the phrase on the bats.

Great pick up Gary. Those guys are some “Serious Dudes”.

Thanks guys. I haven't bought a baseball cdv in a long time. I couldn't pass this one up for some reason.

Incredible image, Gary!

Are those the type of bats that had the wound leather handle grips? The one on the right sure looks like it.

Regardless... Congrats on a great pickup!

It sure looks like it, Mark. That definitely puts wound handle bats into the 1860s.
