Old Louisville slugger decal bats circa 1911-1916

[ext1]

I came across 2 old Louisville slugger decal bats in fantastic shape.

One is The Good Night Baker decal. The decal is 99% intact, maybe 100%. The label on the bat matches to the time period with the line dash line. The bat utself is in perfect shape with nice lacquer and a clear bold brand. The person OI bought them from said they had been in a closet for many many years.

The other bat was a tris speaker decal bat from around the same time with the same marking. The decal is prob about 90% intact.

Is there any other method to determine authenticity? I can try and take pictures if that would help. Also, ANy idea of a value?

I would be interested in seeing some scans of the center label and decals. Thanks.

I couldn't avoid the glare from the flash. I would have had to set up a secondary light source which I didn't have time to set up.

This is the Frank Baker Bat.

This is the Tris Speaker Bat

This is an Eddie Collins Bat that is in bad shape with most of the decal missing.

The Speaker is from 1910-15, while the other two are 1916-1921. I really don't know what they are worth, i seen acouple Collins decals go for around $250-$500, and i think the Speaker would be $500+.
