OFFERED HERE IS A SUPER RARE AND ANTIQUE BASEBALL BAT. THIS BAT IS CRICA 1870’S-80’S AND IS WHAT THEY CALLED A HIGH END “FANCY BAT”. PECK & SNYDER HAD SEVERAL ADS AS WELL AS OTHER EARLY COMPANIES FOR FANCY BATS WHICH WERE HIGH PRICED BATS THAT CAME PAINTED, AND WITH PAINTED RINGS, WITH CUSTOM INCISED RINGS AND ROUNDED KNOBS. THIS ONE HAS ALL THESE QUALITIES AND I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OR TWO LIKE IT IN 27 YEARS OF COLLECTING. THIS IS A MAROON PAINTED BAT OVER ORIGINAL WOOD PATINA AND THE BAT IS A RING BAT WHICH NORMALLY PREDATES THEM TO PRIOR TO 1900. THE BAT KNOB IS A VERY RARE ROUND KNOB WITH AN INCISED CARVING IN THE CENTER SIMILAR TO ONES ADVERTISED VERY EARLY ON. THE BAT HAS TWO PORTIONS OF BLACK RINGS ONE ON THE HANDLE AND KNOB AND ONE ON THE VERY TIP. THIS EARLY TROPHY TYPE BAT ALSO HAS ALMOST A WAVED WOOD GRAINING THAT I TRIED TO PUT IN THE PICTURES BUT MY CAMERA IS OLD. THE BAT MEASURES 29 INCHES AND IS IN GORGEOUS CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS AND SOLID GORGEOUS PATINA. THIS VINTAGE BASEBALL BAT IS JUST MY FAVORITE. YOU HAVE THE FOLK ART BASEBALL STYLE TROPHY BAT, THE DUAL RINGS ON EITHER END AND THE WAVING GRAIN AND THE INCISED ROUND KNOB. IT SIMPLY HAS EVERYTHING AND STUNNING. IT IS ALSO PROBABLY 130-150 YEARS OLD SO DOES HAVE NORMAL WEAR. DOES HAVE A FEW MARKS AND DENTS ON BARREL BUT AGAIN IT IS 100 PLUS YEAR OLD BAT. THE PAINT IS GORGEOUS AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BAT IS ORIGINAL AND GUARANTEED ANTIQUE. The item “1870’s FOLK ART STYLE PAINTED RING BASEBALL BAT- L@@K” is in sale since Sunday, October 20, 2019.
