Babe Ruth 40-K Pictures
I know that he only has one order on the books for a Kork Grip but does anyone have any pictures of him using one.

Re: Babe Ruth 40-K Pictures
Well I guess I will post pictures of my own then. I am actually not much of a collector but I just got this bat cause I thought it was something special but I haven't been able to find any information about it. If any one has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

The bat is 34" long, and it is not marked on the knob. Although there has been an "X" carved into the knob but I am sure that there was not a 34 below it ever.

That is a nice example. The Kork grip bats are tough to find with the handles looking like that. Should have a patent stamp on the handle above the the cork (Sept 15, 1914?).

You have the later example I believe. Should not have the Patent stamp. I have an earlier example with the Patent stamping.

Nice ! Later stamping. I have a JF Hillerich & Son Co. with hand turned knob, my stamping is different. Your bat looks familiar to me did you happen to buy it from a PA dealer named Tom?

No, I got the bat from a friend here in the western part of the US and he has had it for about 23 years.
