The Stall & Dean Manufacturing
Co. in Brockton, Mass. was founded by
W.T. Stall and C.H. Dean in 1898. Their
product of sporting goods included;
Base Ball Suits, Gloves, Mitts, Balls
and Bats. The Stall & Dean Biffer
baseball bat listed in the 1904 catalog
was patented by Absalom Burrows in
1885, and Improvements were made in
1903. The composite baseball bat was
made in nine sections from select ash,
hickory and rattan (for the handle
grip). The Biffer with a light handle,
and heavy striking end, was designed to
make the bat stronger, more flexible,
without stinging the players hands.
The 1904 catalog also features testimonial of approval, from Honus Wagner.
Also listed is the No. 31 S.&D. League,
No. 33 S.&D Collegiate, and No. 35
S.&D. Amateur. The Stall and Dean
Biffer Composite bat was short lived,
and quickly replaced by the no. 1
"Professional," but the "Autograph
Biffer" line of baseball bats were
brought back, by 1914, and turned from
a single select second growth ash
billit.
The colorful decal reads "BIFFER BAT" across the top, and "CHICAGO -
BROCKTON" towards the bottom with
the Stall and Dean Trademark logo in
the center.
