My brother-in-law found these at his house and asked me about them. I really couldn't tell him much. Any insight is appreciated. The top is a Joe Dimagio, the next says "Genuine Rubber Ball" and is Air Seasoned 325. The brown bat is a Johnny Bench R43. He said these have been in his parents basement for about 30 years or so.

The DiMaggio is a pro model for me 1970's.. What's stamped on the knob? And what is on the bench bat, could also be a pro model. The middle bat is nothing.

The Dimagio has D29 on the knob. The Bench has no remaining discernable markings on the knob. I really appreciate the response.

The bench is a index bat from 1977-79, bench didn't order model R43 during that time. And the DiMaggio is a post career pro model but his last order was in 1968. Not sure on value.

Dimaggio should sell for 150-200.
Bench 50-75
Rubber ball, no value
