The legendary Spalding logo is stamped on the heel of this incredible 19th century sports artifact. This circa 1880s/1890s wood stick was used to play ice polo, an American precursor to ice hockey which peaked in the late 19th Century. This vintage beauty measures a shade over 40" from the tip of its curved blade to the top of the shaft, which is cracked at the bottom of the twine grip that is secured by a nail. Please see our website description for more information about this remarkable lot. The Spalding trademark is stamped upside down on one side of the blade of this one-piece rarity, with “NO.” and “A” on either side of the famous “A.G. Spalding & Bros, A.D. 1876” baseball logo. The blade displays wear at the toe with a small gouge on the top edge of above the logo. The stick has a darker look to the wood up to the top of the shaft, which has a lighter, unfinished tone.
