Thank you so much Chad for this thread, I looked forward to seeing the new additions every day!
Awesome, thanks for reading and I'm glad you looked forward to it.
Whooooooo!!!!
As a group: Oxfordshires, Charlie French, and Kippax just look outstanding.
Those extra-large GNs!!!!
PS: How's the market for those large GNs these days? Are they still sought after bats?
Yup, there's a fair few beauties in here. I think the larger numbered ones wouldn't have seemed as appealing as there's so many of them on the picture at once, so no real focus on any in particular. But some excellent craftsmanship on display here.
Large GNs are becoming rarer, as they're not as readily made anymore. You do get some that won't fit through the gauge these days, but getting rarer. What incentive do people have afterall to get oversized clefts, when there's an MCC regulation for size - the ones that do want oversized stuff tend to be quite a niche market!
Just an amazing thread. I love so many of them!
Hahaha unfortunately, so do I, which is why I've struggled to sell! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'd want them to be used.
Haha me too, although preferably by myself - although watching some videos of me bat, might not be such a good idea...
Thanks Chad for showcasing some of your collection. A great concept, that had me looking forward to every post, wondering what would be next. Bravo!!
Thanks for keeping up to date with it, and glad you enjoyed.
Awesome thread. Honestly I am a tad bit surprised not to see BB's.
Thanks
@kal_m , I'm glad you enjoyed it. Didn't feature BB as this was just to showcase batmakers and their own brands really... If I included label brands, then there would be a lot more contenders, but tried to keep it to a specific batmaker for each entry.
