I went to an antique mall this weekend to look around and happened upon this bat. I don't know anything about but was wondering if there is a market for this kind of stuff and what kind of value would be placed on it.



It is a small bat with Jacksons name and Chicago white sox burned into it. I didn't pick it up but if its worth anything, I may head back. Thanks!!

    I don't know what this bat is all about, but
    it's a given that Joe Jackson never used this
    bat in a Major League game.

    Joe's last game was in 1920 and Adirondack
    didn't start making bats until 1946.

    the "Joe Jackson" very well may have been burned in after the fact to fool unsuspecting buyers

    of course we all know that Joe used the "Black Betsy"model.....lol

    the value would be simply for the conversation associated with hanging it on your wall....

    being in an antique mall most likely signifies that it's grossly overpriced, trying to attract the casual buyer.

    It looks burned on letter-by-letter after the fact. Maybe someone had a White Sox bat and they liked him or something so they decided to burn his name on it. I wouldn't think it would be worth too much, just an old bat.
