Greetings,
I discovered this at the dump this weekend in my small New Hampshire town. It looks to me to be a cricket bat, but it is tiny. It is only about 2' long. It is marked "Hamley's" or "Hawley's" with a London address. The former owner's name was J.M. Jenney and he was either a child or a midget. Is this a toy or a "real" cricket bat? I have no idea what to do with this thing. I suppose I could keep it in reserve in case of Zombie Midgets?

Quoted: sometimes willow isn't good enough...............................yesterday's T20 international Thanks all, It sure is light- I would be surprised if it weighs 2 lbs. I was wondering what kind of wood it was made out of. In the US we make baseball bats out of Ash wood. Is willow a dense enough wood that it won't dent when the (?)batter hits the ball?   |

Thanks again,
It struck me as odd to discover it at the dump. Picking over other people's castoff junk is a Yankee tradition. Actually, it is not a dump any longer as it is technically a "transfer station". In other words the garbage is transferred to another location and burnt for power. I guess I can give the bat to my son or daughter, but I have to be careful to maintain the balance of power in the house. Parity of potential force must be maintained.
