Description

Vintage Base Ball Bat Pontiac Turning Co Model 1 Pontiac Michigan early 1900’s
It is an Antique circa 1900-1915 Pontiac Turning Co base ball bat.
The branding in the center is sharp and easy to read.
Model #1 with a flame burnt finish.
Second growth white ash wood.
Check out the handle profile. I don’t see any sign of a player name on the knob.
I read that since the logo was burned in that there were  inevitably flaws in the burning process. The only flaw that I can find is the “C” in Pontiac didn’t burn in well, the rest of the trademark logo is crisp and readable.
The bat was, at some point, taped, the residue is clearly visible.
The bat is 33” and it’s heavy, I weighed it on my postal scale at 42.7 oz.
No cracks.
This is a real find due to condition.
