			Was it even a baseball bat?? I was thinking some sort of tool. Has no markings on it from kinst and I doubt some regular joe would have made one.

			Being from Wisconsin was a good sign as Kinst was from the state. Were all Kinst bats marked?  Was it perhaps Kinsts' prototype?  I have no idea!

			Well that's the least I've ever seen one sell for.   They typically go well over $4K on the rare occasion one surfaces.   The chipped knob and lack of branding probably accounted for some of this. Plus it was a poorly executed and uneducated eBay listing, IMO. I bet lots of prospective bidders simply missed it (myself included). For those not familiar, here's some background... http://blog.robertedwardauctions.com/?p=322 http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/...2011/1225.html http://mobile.dudamobile.com/site/se...le.com%2F#2846 http://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum...hp?f=13&t=4453 Last edited by perezfan; 06-09-2015 at 08:11 PM. |

			Billy Sullivan's great-grandson is also a member of the board (pbspelly) and I recall a thread, I believe, where we discussed a banana bat with him.

			Mark you are correct....it was a very uneducated ebay listing that I just happened to stumble upon.   The seller couldn't see stamping of any kind although of course that doesnt mean it wasn't there, just perhaps very light. I went for it (although obviously not hard enough) so I could make some determination in person. |
