ITEM 1: 1880’s Green and Red Baseball Ring Bat Model No. 547. This vintage baseball bat goes back to a different time in baseball.

It is a fine example and will fit nicely into a 19th century baseball display. SOLD

1921-24 Tim G. Hendryx Decal Baseball Bat

ITEM 9: 1921-24 Tim G. Hendryx Decal Baseball Bat. This gorgeous antique baseball bat is simply stunning! Timothy Green Hendryx was a utility outfielder who played with four different teams between the seasons of 1911 thru 1921. He was a good defensive outfielder and quite a line-drive hitter, Hendryx entered the majors in 1911 with the Cleveland Indians. He played with them for two years and then joined the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns and then the Boston Red Sox. His most productive season was with the Red Sox in 1920. He put up a .328 batting average with 54 runs and 73 RBI's while appearing in 99 games.

Hendryx was traded to the Saint Paul Saints of the American Association in 1921, and in his only season with them, 1922, he lead the American Association with this model bat, as printed on the decal. He then moved to the PCL and played for the San Francisco Seals for the seasons of 1923 thru 1926. Therefore, this bat ,as it refers to leading the American Association, was likely to only have been offered for a year or two.

It measures 35 inches and is a heavy, club of a bat it exhibits no signs of ever having been used which is supported by the nearly flawless decal. You will find the more common big sellers such as Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner and Joe Jackson but this model decal would have had a local interest and as such, probably was not a big seller and this is the only example that we know to exist. Add to the fact that it is almost brand new with a stellar decal and you have what may be one of the rarest decal bats in existence. If you collect high grade decal bats or a fan of the American Association and the St. Paul Saints, then this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to add this to your collection. A museum quality addition to any vintage baseball memorabilia collection! The condition is solid NR-MT to MINT! SOLD
