I recently got some valuable information from Mike H about the bats, but I was going to put it up on the board to see if I could get any more history. Here is the information from the email:
I picked up 4 Louisville Slugger bats (Ed Matthews, Mickey Mantle, Joe Di Maggio, and MAYS (I'm assuming willie)). All are branded with the signatures and not foil stamped. The MAYS is the only one that isn't script. The model numbers on the knobs are:
Dimaggio D29, MAYS F4, Mantle K55, and Matthews S2.
The lengths are:
Dimaggio: 34 1/2"
MAYS: 32 1/2"
Mantle: 33 1/2"
Matthews: 33 1/2"
All are in great shape, but have a college name branded on them. 3 say Whittier college and the other says Univ of Redlands (my alma mater). I'm assuming these were from those particular colleges to use. So, are these store model bats?
The registered trade marks:3 have the "R" following the slugger's R. The MAYS has the REG US PAT OFF under the center label.
Any idea on value? History?
Any info you can provide would be great!
