spalding wagon tongue black end no.000 bat ?

[sean28716nc]

i have a spalding wagon tongue black end bat no.000 . I have seen no others like it. Thier is nothing about a patent on it at all, and the black end is flat rather than being rounded off i think it may be from 1889 but i was wondering why it was differant than the others and would maybe like to sell it and whats it worth you think ? ty sean

Sounds like a ring bat, pics would be very helpful. Value depends on condition, length, eye appeal etc.

thank you for the links : ) you wouldnt have any idea why this bat doesnt say patent pending on it or any sort of a patent number ? do ya think it would have been made prior to or if it was used by a league they wouldnt put that on their ty sean

Sean I am not certain on the Patents but if you google it you can find there have been a few model numbered 000 out there.

Most likely it is a vintage store model bat.

Unless you can find any specific markings on it to tell you otherwise.
