  1913 Giants No. G100 Special Bull Dog Suspenders Premium Baseball Bat
   
 
  • CIRCA - 1913
  • MANUFACTURER - Unknown
 
 
NOTES:
 
   The Giants Special No. G100 baseball bats were given away free, with every pair of Bull  Dog suspenders purchasd from Cadmus Men's Shop, at 296 Main Avenue in Passaic, NJ. The store promotion was held from October 7 to October 11, 1913, coinciding with the 1913 World Series between the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants. The stores window display was artistically dressed with the famous Bull Dog suspenders and the Giants No. G100 baseball bats. Obviously a Giants fan, the owner of the shop, John Cadmus, also posted the scores by innings. The Athletics won the series four games to one.

 Back then, it was very common to receive a baseball bat free with a purchase of men's furnishing, such as a pair of shoes, or a suit, to draw in customers. The company that produced the bat is unknown, as there is no manufacturer stamping on the bat. They could have been made by a local woodworking shop in New Jersey, to generate extra income to make up for times when business was slow, or during a poor economy.

 The full size bats feature an ornate "Giants" center brand, with " No.G100" below, and "Special" branded into the barrel.
