You'll be the second to know if it goes anywhere, Bill. The previous owner has first dibs. He's from Kentucky, also.

I believe the "S" is for Standard Bat Company, though I could be wrong.

Here are 2 bats that I bought maybe 10 years ago. I guess those are custom bats from the 19th century but I would like to have your opinion. Andy idea of their value ? I bought them $1 each so I don’t mind if they’re worthless lol They display nicely in my memorabilia room.

I can't tell from the pic; are they kind of flat on the barrel end?

Thanks Bruce for the kind words. I hope you enjoy making the bats as much as I do.

Gary, that Tiger Maple Bat is just stunning. The shaping of the bat and its marble-like patina are nothing short of gorgeous. Last edited by perezfan; 06-29-2021 at 05:11 PM. |

Thanks, Mark.
Here's one bat I'd appreciate any feedback on. It has an interesting ribbed handle and is 34" long. I'm not sure of the weight, but it is quite heavy. 19th century or not? Last edited by GaryPassamonte; 06-30-2021 at 11:47 AM. |

Gary, you sure can come up with some unique bats. I certainly don't have a definitive answer for you but I will hazard a guess of late 1800's or very early 1900's. The rounded barrel end, taper and size of the knob would all indicate that time span. Beautiful graining and good lathe skills on the handle. Nice bat.

I thought I would resurrect this thread with a couple bats. The first is a Reach ring bat similar to the one posted by Jon P. earlier in the thread. It took me a few years to find one of these. They are tough.

Awesome bats Gary! Is the second one sometimes referred to as a four corner bat? It looks really cool.

The ebay listing called it a four quarter bat.

That is very cool but looks like it would shatter on impact. Was that a bat they actually used back in the day or is it maybe more of a presentation type piece?

I would say more of a presentation bat, others with more knowledge than me may have a better answer.

I would also guess presentation bat. I say that because it looks to be complete bats cut into quarters and glued together rather than wood put together and then a bat turned from that. Extremely cool no matter what it is.

Great bat, Gary…glad you got it! The feature I appreciate most is one that is sorta uncommon, but one that really adds to appearance and appeal…that being the acorn’ish type knob. I have but one bat with this feature and am glad I do, as it matches the cover graphics of a pamphlet in my collection from 1875.
Your recent bat acquisitions have been top notch!! Jon www.dugouttreasures.com |
