Shivell MFG Co. Baseball Bat

Joseph J. Shivell became engaged in a baseball bat manufacturing business in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, shortly before he passed away in 1951. Shivell explained to friends that he believed "every boy in America should have a baseball bat." Mr. Shivell was a civic and political leader. He had been active in politics for many years, but his main interest was the children of Plains Township. For 20 years he played Santa Claus in the public and parochial schools there, and in 1949 was awarded a distinguished service certificate by Joseph E. Conlon Post 588, American Legion, for his civic work. Joseph Shivell, was manager and sponsor of the Falls, baseball team of the Abington League when he died.

The only baseball bat model produced has the "Shivell's Swing Boy MFG, Falls, PA." center brand. The bats were produced for a short time, and there are only a handful that surfaced in the collectors market. Most of the baseball bats produced were donated to local youth leagues.
