That's a very, very cool bat.
I just wanted to mention that I thought the Spalding Gold Medal series decal bats first appeared circa 1905, discontinued by 1908, with the Gold Medal Autograph series beginning in 1909. This could make your bat a little earlier. If the bat though came from John Taube and he calls it 1909, I'm sure he knows best. That's a great pick up, congrats!
