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.

Based on the barrel end and the shape of the knob I'd date this bat as 19th century, maybe 1880's-early 1890's. Definitely hand made.

Thanks John for the info. It looks 19th century to me... I don't recall seeing a 20th century bat that is shaped like this one, but I am not a bat guy per se...

The flat barrel end strongly suggests pre-1890 and the knob shape also reflects 19th century bats. Flat barrel ends were outlawed in 1893.
