Brian, what kind are you looking for? There's a plethora out there. Are you looking for player models, world series models, decals, or all? Also what do you consider vintage pre 60's, 50's or earlier. As always ebay usually has a pretty good selection to choose from. Auction houses will usually have some of the higher end varieties.

I am primarily looking for vintage mini player models. I have checked ebay, but did not find much. If you can hook me up with different auction houses that would be cool.

Brian, you might start by searching Yahoo. I found a site that had some by typing in vintage mini bats. You might also try more specific searches such as Mickey Mantle mini bat. Mastronet auctions usually has some mini bats in them. They have an auction coming up soon so you might check there once the auction is up. Leland's has some from time to time as well.

Good Luck,

Ebay is the best source. I do see them in the Major auctions, but only if they are decal bats or have a nice pennant attached to them. They are widely collected. I see them often at antique shows and the National is loaded with them.

What kind of mini bats are you looking for?

[brianborsch]

Just Louisville Slugger mini bats of past greats like Joe jackson, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Roger Hornsby, Mel Ott, etc. I am trying to collect the 16" mini bats. Let me know if you got anything or if you know how to get some. Thanks!

I saw a LS mini bat in the store but you could barely make out the LS logo and nothing on the barrell.
