All Bamboo Bat

[b.heagy]

Greetings fellow members,
Has anyone come across an All Bamboo Baseball bat in their travels? I recently picked one up along with a 1950s MLB gamer. This one is marked in the center label Hagoromo Bat Patented All Bamboo No 377891 Shimizu Japan - Barrel is marked No. 500 A Professional Model Ever Bond. Knob is stamped with what looks like A3. Looking for some history if anyone can share.

Thanks

Hi Bill, There is a dealer I buy from frequently who has been offering a bamboo bat to me for months. I don't recall the manufacturer, but it's definitely a 50s or 60s bat. It looks nice and probably works well, but I havn't been interested in purchasing it.

Thanks Mike. I got it in a lot this weekend and just thought it was cool. It has a neat look as it shows minimal use. Been a long time since I came across one of these. Do you mind sharing what the dealers offering price is for his?

I think it was $50.
