Bolo Bat (Rat-Tat-Tat)
The Bolo bat was a child's toy popular in the
1930s through the 1960s.
The child would bat the ball as far as the elastic would allow
it to travel. When it reached the furthest distance from the bat
that the elastic would allow, it sprang back at the bat where it
was hit again and again. The object of the game was to see how many
times the child could hit the ball and have it return and be hit
again.
Children competed against themselves and others for the greatest
number of successful hits.
