The bat is a vintage Spalding bat circa 1890-1900, I believe.

This bat is made of Ash, dates to 1880's/90's and is Spalding's 2nd tier bat. The top of the line would be triple XXX or 3/0. It would have "Wagon Tongue" stamped on it. Another stamping from the same period would be "Axletree". I think they were trying plant the impression that the bats were made of aged or hardened wood. Early marketing I guess.

I was able to find some info on the bat. This is from a 1898 catalog.
