Schmelzer Baseball Bat Age

[Overbooked3000]

I'm trying to determine the approximate date for my Schmelzer baseball bat. I have found information on the Schmelzer Arms Co., Vintage Baseball Glove Forum ? View topic - Schmelzer Arms Sporting Goods, but not on the bats. Since the company went bankrupt in 1930 I know the bat would be earlier than that. The pictures provide more information than I could describe. Beside the company name and the "A" there are no other markings. The bat is 34-3/4" long and 2" diameter at the barrel. I purchased it at an estate auction and clean it with steel wool and turpentine and then oiled it. The grip was wrapped but in poor shape. I retained the old tape and plan on re-tapping it. Any help would be appreciated.

This site (Old Schmelzer Arms Kansas Decal Baseball Bat 1910's (07/08/2010)...) shows one from the 1910s. Great find !!
And here's some history: Schmelzer Arms Company
And here's a pic of their 1908 baseball team:http://www.kchistory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/Montgomery&CISOPTR=3698&CISOBOX=1&REC=2

First thanks for the additional information. If you compare the two logos mine is not as ornate making me think it is later. The style is what I believe whould be from the 1908-1914 time period but again I am not sure.
