‘A Warsop Triangular Bat circa 1890’. A triangular practice cricket bat made by Benjamin Warsop of St. John’s Wood, London. The triangular shaped bat’s blade is only 2.5” in width and has ‘B. Warsop, Marylebone’ stamped across the splice and below a faded trade mark and ‘B. Warsop’ impressed to the cap of the bat. The back of the blade rises sharply from the splice into an acutely angled ridge before sharply falling away at the last moment towards the toe. The thickness of the blade is almost constant from shoulder to toe. The bat measures 34” long, weighing 1lb 5.5oz, with original binding to handle. Some signs of old woodworm to base otherwise in good condition. Sold with the late vendors research notes giving further information on the bat.
