2018 Vintage Bat Catalog
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, bats were heavier. They generally had thicker handles and thinner barrels (until 1895, bat could not exceed 2.5" in diameter). All our vintage bats are hand turned by master craftsman Mike Paes, and as such, weights can vary slightly. All bats are based upon actual authentic 18th century models, and can be custom-turned to your specifications. We can make bats up to 40" long, from both ash and poplar - please call for availability and pricing.

Inspired by several "mushroom" handle design bats popular toward the end of the 19th century. The large knob acts as a counterbalance for the full "bottle" barrel, and the resulting large sweet spot makes this a great bat for both directional and fair/foul hitting. A heavy bat, designed for the underhand contact player. Features a 2.35" barrel and a 1.25" handle. Available 33.5"/41 oz.
