Re: New to the Forum and Need Help with this Johnny Bench Bat
Dave & others...
What about the trademark circle after the stamped on signature? Is that something that you only see on store model bats or is it present with anyone who has their signature trademarked?

Re: New to the Forum and Need Help with this Johnny Bench Bat
Thanks for all the help. I thought the font did look a little small when I compared to the one professional model bat I have. And thanks for the link to the primer. That will definitely come in handy when I attend auctions.

Re: New to the Forum and Need Help with this Johnny Bench Bat
Wade:
Registration trademarks are seen on both professional model and retail model H & B bats. Relative to this specific bat, Johnny Bench's name was filed as a registered trademark on 2/17/1976, and registered on 11/2/1976. Other player's whose names have been registered include Pete Rose, Jim Rice, Dave Parker, and others. Also registered are the term "Powerizeed," the designation "125," various popular models such as K55, R17, S2, M110, and others.
Additional information and research on various registration filings can be found in a Dave Grob article in the MEARS News Archive dated 4/4/2009
