Jim - Thnx for information. I have would be very curious as to time frame of these old bottle bats... 1880's-1900's ??

[murphusa]

bottle bats became popular in the late teens to early 20's. So that would pretty much cover the time period

Some additional pictures would be useful, especially of the barrel end and some close ups of the handle meeting the barrel and of the knob.
