Vintage Bat Cleaning
Does any one offer a bat cleaning service in Illinois or Southern Wisconsin?
Would prefer to avoid having to mail it there and back to some where further. |

I can probably help you out if you decide you want to ship
. Bill Rayburn is in Kentucky but that’s the closest person I know .

Not to disparage the bat cleaners, but this is probably not something I would pay for. Restoration, yes. Cleaning, no. I would just dive into the internet for advice.

Thanks Matt
I'm still in the process of buying the bat, so need to see if that goes through. |

If it was a just a $50-$100 bat then I'd agree, but I'm in talks with the person and it's in the 2K neighborhood, c.1900 bat. |

Hopefully it works out and hopefully we see photos of the bat

Does cleaning a bat impact the value? What about restoration?

Bat cleaning and restoration is an accepted practice. Although many collectors actually enjoy a bit of dirt and grime on the game used bats.

I can see repairing a game used bat that's badly damaged but I wouldn't fix most cracks OR remove any dirt or staining that was likely caused by handling by the team and game use.
