This turn of the century Spalding baseball bat boldly reads "No. 000" in dark, black ink underneath the Spalding logo printed on the bat's center. In EX-MT condition, this attention-grabbing piece has "PAT. APPd FOR" and "WAGON-TONGUE" printed in between the excellent, exceedingly readable trademark Spalding baseball logo. Weighing 42 oz. and measuring 33 inches, this bat has a light-colored ring at the end of the barrel, rather than the typical dark tip. The bat's handle features tiny, factory-created grooves for improved grip, something we have not encountered before.
