Dynarl,
It looks more like the massachusetts style bat, but given the page seam and grainy photo, i can't be exact. However, I don't think it is a true mushroom style like the one pictured, in that it doesn't have a distinct ridge where the mushroom "attaches" to the handle. It's more of a smooth transition like the 'Mass style.
Also, I remember the guy in the auction said he bought it at a flea market in Kansas, and that the person that sold it to him picked it up at an estate sale in Nebraska. I know it's a bunch of he said she said, but being from Nebraska, I was excited to get it.
Can't wait to post pics in a few days and see what you guys think! I really hope its not a farm tool!
