hmm indeed

The 87 would be the bats model number, not the year. Dates proably to the 1930's-40's. And being only 28" makes it a youth bat. Unfortunately not much value.

I thought aj reach co was only a company from 1886-1922 then it became spalding?

[Rickenboou]

let me know about that

Reach didn't engrave bats in the 1800s, the logo was painted on and the majority of their bats at that time were ring bats.
