It looks like the earliest Reach bat I've ever seen. The handle and rings look 1880s IMO.

I would say it's 1890s going by the rings.

I believe it's a bat from the 1910-1920 era. Most of the Reach ring bats had a red band in the middle or a black Reach logo stenciled in the center. I wouldn't pay over $10-$15 for it.

This bat is from the teens to early 20's, based on the label.
