    I think I found a Shoeless Joe used Barnstorming Bat

    Yesterday at the Swap Meet I Found this Shoeless Joe Bat. I have done some research on this bat and it matches up with these 2 examples of barnstorming bats from the 30's as seen at these links

    here are pictures of mine

    Based of my research I think I may have the real deal. The only thing that is different on the 2 examples I have posted is the fact that on the knob it says 35 instead of 34. Plus the descriptions of the auctions say in the 1930's this bat was not in the catalogs for store purchase. If real what do you guys think the value of this bat would be?
