Sell Brand Sporting goods Baseball Bat

Sell was a Sorting goods manufacturing company, located at 115 Schroyer Ave. SW, in Canton Ohio. Thomas Wilson bought out several companies when he took over the operations at Ashland Mfg in 1914. Chicago Soprting Goods was one for the manufacture of uniforms and Sell Sporting Goods was another for the manufacture of gloves and balls. Sell Sporting Goods was an outgrowth of Sell Horse Goods Co., owned by William Sell. Thomas Wilson did not immediately move the Canton plant to Chicago but used it in Canton as a subsidiary until 1919.

The Sell Horse Goods Company manufactured leather goods such as horse boots, and harnesses. The Sell Sporting goods owned by W.E. Sell also worked with leather, producing baseball goods, such as baseball shoes, masks, protectors and gloves. William Sell was also an inventor who held a patent of an innovative wrist strap found on some early Wilson baseball mitts. It is unlikely that the Sell Sporting Goods Co. manufactured the bat.

Sell Sporting goods shared building space at 115 Schroyer Ave. SW, with the Canton furniture MFG Co. It is possible that this company made the bats for sell. The Sell Brand Baseball bats were produce to be sold with their line of baseball goods sold at stores like the Altoona Leather Store in Pennsylvania, or A.L. Foster Co. clothiers, hatters, & men's furnishers in Connecticut.
