These two bats were pictured in an 1874 Boston Red Stockings team photo. The labels are not visible, but can anyone identify what type of bats these are?

Hi Paul. The bat on the right sure looks a lot like Jonathan's Snyder bat, even though it is one year earlier.

The 1874 bat looks thicker and the handle wrap covers less of the bat.

Kevin- Spalding catalogs advertise wound handle bats. Do you know if they mean twine or leather and do you know if any survive?

The Spalding is 35” and the Standard is 38”.
It’s my understanding both are willow.

Here are mine although they don't compare to the others that are posted. I'm guessing the last bat I posted is a 19th century homemade bat. It weighs a ton too.
