mb399579 Posted October 11 Share #1 Posted October 11 Hello, I've found this baseball lat in a flea market in France yesterday. The lenght is 86,6 cm (around 34 inches) It is stamped "US" with 2 words that I didn't succeed to read. I didn't find other marking. Could you please help me to date it ? Thanks.

phantomfixer Posted October 12 Share #2 Posted October 12 IIRC the base knob helps date it to late 1930s- 1940s construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
