Established in 1869 in St. Louis, the Red Goose Shoes company lasted nearly a century before merging with the International Shoe Company, which later bought Florsheim. During Red Goose's latter years, they produced this 33 inch bat with the center brand being: "Friedman Shelby All Leather Shoes," while the barrel features a goose illustration with "Red Goose Shoes" branding. The wood is a bit dry but uncracked.
