Help with a... Baseball bat???
Picked this up today at a flea market... Not sure if it is a bat, but the seller seemed to think so... For $10 I felt it was worth the gamble...
Measures roughly 35.75" the handle Is a perfect fit for my hand... No markings, but you can see marks on the wood where it was turned Is this a bat? If so from what era? Many thanks! Dave

Bat
So I just stuck a screwdriver in the hole and it loosened some "junk" up, but it looks like the hole is about 2.5" deep

I am defiantly not a bat expert but I wonder if it's possibly a crude fungo bat? You can tell from the markings around the hole that the lathe it was turned on was probably not a machine that was designed for mass production.
Just a stab in the dark. When you hold it in one hand is it balanced so it is easily swung with only one hand? A regular bat is typically thicker toward the end to transfer power to the sweet spot. Drew

Dave - how long is the section between the knob and the double rings? Can you comfortably wrap both your hands around it there?
