McKinnon Baseball Bats

McKinnon "The Kind You've Always Wanted" trademark baseball bats were made by the McKinnon Leather Products Corp. founded in 1876 McKinnon Dash Co., manufactured dashboards for horse drawn buggies and carriages. Their metal framed dashboards were covered by stretched leather, to provide protection from the horses kicking up mud and dust into the passenger area. McKinnon Dash (Dashboards) also manufactured other products such as bicycles, canvas goods and welded chain. In 1927, the McKinnon Dash Co. purchased Bon Tober Sporting Goods, a manufacture of baseball gloves and balls. After 1930, McKinnon Leather Product Corp. began producing a complete line of leather sporting goods, under the "McKinnon" brand name.

Their catalog included baseball gloves, bats, and balls. Most were youth and juvenile sports equipment, sold in toy, drug, and discount stores. Most of the smaller bats that measure about 22 inches were sold in juvenile baseball sets. In the 1960's McKinnon Leather Products Corp. Issued a line of "Small Fry" baseball equipment. These bats did not have the McKinnon "The Kind You've Always Wanted" trademark logo, but did read "Small Fry" on the barrel.
