Vintage Bat Question

[b.heagy]

Picked up a Louisville Slugger from the 1933-34 labeling period. Pro model bat with no markings on the knob. The unusual thing with this bat is that it has the number 13 stamped into the end of the barrel, approx 1/2 inch in height. Larger than any model number or inch marking that I have ever examined. Anyone have idea's of what the marking is? Factory stamp ?......

Help with vintage bat

I recently found this bat online and paid next to nothing for it, then after doing some research think i might have found something worthwhile. The first photo is from the collection of Dr. John Gennantonio with a bat almost identical being the 4th from the bottom on the rack. here is a link to the photo.

I have mailed him but received no response so hopefully someone else can lend some knowledge. Being a Cinci collector I am wondering if it is in his collection as a Pat Duncan game used bat. Photos of the bat I found are posted as well
Thanks

LOUISVILLE SLUGGER: Ed Mathews Vintage Baseball Bat

Does anyone know anything about this bat? I believe it dates back as far as 1948. Not sure about it though but have a look. Thanks!

Antonio,

This bat is a store model bat as evidenced by the "35" stamped on the knob and foil stamping on the barrel.

That is a store model bat that you have. Not worth much dollar wise.

FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?

Can anyone help out if this is a game used or professional model bat of Frank Robinson? It's a very old bat. And if anyone is interested in trading/buying, then let me know.

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?

If you are talking about the HOF Frank Robinson. There is one problem with the bat. It says Vanderbilt University on the bat and Frank Robinson went to Xavier.

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?

Yeah, I checked into Frank Robinson's history and noticed that. So can anyone at least tell me if this is a game used bat? Or can anyone tell me why this bat says 'Vanderbilt University"?

Thoughts?

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?

P.S. Yes, I'm talking about the legendary Hall of Famer, Frank Robinson who played for the Cincinnati Reds during his rookie year in 1956.

HARMON KILLEBREW Game Used or Professional Model Bat?

I have a Harmon Clayton Killebrew LOUISVILLE SLUGGER bat. I'm not sure if it's a game used or a professional model bat. Yes, I am talking about the former Major League baseball player who hit a career total 573 homeruns and inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Check to see the images below. Although, it was almost difficult reading the 'Harmon Killebrew" writing on the baseball, I managed to figure out who it was.

Let me know your thoughts.

LOUISVILLE SLUGGER: Pete Rose Vintage Baseball Bat

I figured this was a Pete Rose Vintage Baseball Bat after closer inspection. Although, the 'Pete Rose' writing on the bat is totally faded, there are still some indentions in it that shows it IS a Pete Rose Baseball Bat. Not to forget that the 'PR4' abbreviation on the knob is evidence of a Pete Rose bat. I need to know if this is game used or a professional model bat. Anyone?
