Experts-where does this bat date from?
I got it narrowed down from somewhere between 1964-1972. Thanks for the help! After we get it nailed down I'll let you know whose bat it is.

I cant quite tell from the "P" in the pic, but it looks like a 65-68 model

I say 1965-69. And my guess is Roger Maris for who's bat it is?

Re: Experts-where does this bat date from?
Ya, could be. Just check the bottom loop of the "P" and see if it goes through.
And I dont understand how this seller states that its a 64-72. He should be completely capable of telling when it comes from. I notice he does that all the time, along with saying a number on the knob is the players, when it sometimes isnt. But, thats a different story.

Nate,
But in 1969-72 they switched to the large register mark in the logo. That bat has the small one.

Also the seller is a forum member and in his listing he states lates 1960's early 1970's. Bird came up with 1964-72.

Re: Experts-where does this bat date from?
Hmm, maybe Im thinking of a different seller. Looks a lot like his trademark carpet in the back.
Heres some closeups to help you out. Compliments of Tim's site.
1965-68
1969-72

Re: Experts-where does this bat date from?
Man, you guys are good. I'm confused too. The seller says he thinks the P goes thru. BUT-it has the small R-not the larger one. Yes, it's a Maris bat too. It's 35 inches, 33 ounces and it's an 016. Matches his records from his last two years with the Cards-but could it be a 69-72 issued after his career-and if so-why? Clear up my confusion fellas!

Re: Experts-where does this bat date from?
I completely apologize. That wasnt the seller I thought it was.
I looked at the listing and looked at the pic a bit closer. I personally think it has the "P" of a 69-72 bat.
But Yanks is correct about the "R"
