Here is a guy sitting in front of an open torch and giving the bats their flame treatments. The pile of bats propped against the wall at the bottom right of the cropped image of this guy has both AJ Reach (Model 100) and Spalding bats together.

On the wall in the back are the pennants I mentioned. There is also an interesting machine in the foreground on the right. It looks like a press and so may have been what they used to stamp the bats, but I am guessing on that.
