July 2016 pickups

[seanbaseball]

Congrats on another nice pickup Sean! That Ruth bat is really neat.. I like the mystery aspect of the non LVS bats from that era....if photos ever surface linking Ruth to the brand, watch out! Certainly seems to match the size you would hope to see!

Thanks. I figure Mears and PSA recognize this model as a Professional model bat (the store model Ruth Hanna bat was model #5, this bat is model 12) and its certainly much more reasonable than a LS. Would be great if they could find a photo of Ruth with a Batrite bat like they did with Gehrig recently.

I'm
Just curious where you got the info that his model 5 is store model and the model 12 is professional? I think either can be store model or professional.

Hanna Batrite catalogs were found and list the model number for Ruth store model bats as model 5. This bat is model 12 making it solely a pro model.

This Gehrig bat at Hunt is model number 11 which is listed in the Batrite catalogs as model 11. So it makes this one rely solely on the use traits and dimensions to determine pro use.

This Gehrig bat is a Batrite but not a model 11 and has been photomatched

in addition pro model Hanna Batrite bats have the weight stamped on the knob, retail bats do not.

There are other differences also in how the bat is turned and the quality of the wood that determine pro model.
