Produced in both regular length and mini bats, t...hey were very popular with baseball fans at the time. The player decals were very delicate, and the original paints flaking off rather easily due to the bats being used for play, and general age factors, as they are about 100 years old. So, it is very rare to find decal bats, especially the large styles, to have near intact decals.This 35 inch, 39 ounce full size bat features a 75% intact decal of the Grey Eagle, Tris Speaker, an extremely popular player and the premiere center fielder of his day.
