H&b
Hi
Why would H&B not put a barrel brand on a bat from 1921-1931. If there's no barrel brand does that mean it once had a decal on it.

Re: H&b
Not necessarily. Sounds more likely that it was just an H&B bat with no player endorsement.
I've got one on my wall right now that has a blank barrel, but has grease pencil writing on the handle with the name Jim Bryan and an illegible date.
It is also vault marked B122 on both ends.

Bat master
I know this is a stupid question but if the grease/pencil marks ever fade away is there a way to tell that they were there one time. Like maybe a black light or something else. Thanks

Re: H&b
You can call me by name. I'm Tim, btw.
Sometimes there will be an area where it looks like the bat was cleaned. Usually it will be a strip on the side of the bat about 1"-1.5" tall and maybe 12-15" long.
If you would like to email me at tim@hofbats.com I can send you a couple of pictures of the area I'm talking about.
