Outstanding 1880’s Baseball Ring Bat with Green Paint – 39”
An exceptional and exceedingly rare find, this 1880’s vintage baseball ring bat is a true gem from the golden age of baseball. Measuring an impressive 39 inches in length, this bat not only stands out for its sheer size but also for its unique green paint finish, a feature scarcely seen in surviving examples from this era. The bat’s striking ring-turned design—a hallmark of craftsmanship from the 1880s—adds to its allure and historical significance.
The green paint, though naturally weathered from decades of age, still retains much of its original luster, a testament to the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that went into creating such a piece. The bat is made of solid wood, likely ash or hickory, which were popular materials for baseball bats during the late 19th century.
Artifacts of this nature are seldom found in such well-preserved condition, making this bat a true standout among 19th-century baseball memorabilia. Its green-painted finish, along with its impressive size and craftsmanship, make this a one-of-a-kind piece, perfect for the discerning collector of antique sports memorabilia.
A rare opportunity to own a museum-quality artifact from baseball’s early days - this bat is not only a relic of the game’s rich history but also a striking display piece that will be the envy of any collection. Please call directly with any questions or concerns.
