Antique Baseball Bats


1880-90’s Ring Bat - Vintage Baseball Bat

ITEM 1: The offered bat is a wonderful, 1880-90’s Ring Bat with a great logo of a full figure 19th century batter inside a diamond. To the left side of the standing batsman is the word "Trade" and on the right side of the figure is the word "Mark." Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the company and am unable to find it on the logo. I believe it was printed on the jersey of the player but cannot be certain. In any event, the bat is an outstanding example of the ring bat style. The rings are strong and the knob is well formed with the distinct lathe markings on the end. A scarce opportunity to add a top-notch, 19th century bat to your vintage baseball collection! SOLD
