You are Buying an antique Sterling silver with gilding Niello Fob/Pendant baseball bat in mint condition.Unmarked but tested for sterling silver (the ring is not silver).Very rare niello with gilt. I guess it was made in England. Wonderful workmanship in wonderful condition.
 Niello-this is the art of ornamenting metal surfaces that is thought to have originated with the Egyptians and spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. It is an enamel-like substance made alloys of sulfur, copper, silver and lead and used as an inlay on engraved metal,especially niello with gilding!
 This attractive baseball bat from the Victorian (circa1900) era is a wonderful example of the Niello craft! See the dimensions from the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
