Earliest piece of baseball memorabilia - Pictures - Pre-1880 only, 18th Century Wins

[BigJJ]

Incredible items. Great card.
Love the rounders bat and that six peel lemon peel; unbelievable.
The rounders bat may be the earliest surviving bat of any sort in existence - now that my private offer was rejected, I will publically glorify the bat
This is my earliest bat - I believe it to be the earliest, or among the earliest, game-used bats (non-trophy, actually used) that survive to date, c. 1850-1860. Given its large size of 34 inches, heavy weight, and emblems, I believe it was used by a member of a professional club. It's post 1840 as it is thicker than town ball, and it is not a child's bat (as you may know, baseball was, with limited exception, a child and teen sport pre-1840). Wish I can find more on the "E" emblem and "SVS" initials; have done much research but have not been able to find anything. The bat had a vertical grain separation that was repaired by Cliff spectacularly.
Also has a knot in the barrell which I love - players of the era viewed a knot as a positive because of how hard knots are, believing they would hit the ball harder and further.
I would sell the bat, so please feel free to PM if interested - I will even give you an asking price and not make you come up with an offer!
I purchased the bat at the Atlantic City National in 2002; I was told it came out of a house on a large property/farm in upstate New York.
