Re: Identifying GU H&B and Rawlings bats

no. just a photo from doing some research to benefit us bat collectors.

Thanks, Joel. If it was yours, I was just going to ask if you had additional photos or if it was available. It looks like a neat bat.


Sorry, Jeff, don't mean to hijack your thread.

Re: Identifying GU H&B and Rawlings bats

Thanks, guys. I cut and pasted a photo of one of the 1993 MADE IN USA labels and uploaded it to the site.

Please keep the information coming. Any thoughts on that 1996-97 AD center brand or the 1997 AD center brand? Those are the ones I'm least sure about. Also, if you have a better photo of either logo, I'd appreciate you sharing it. The ones I'm using now are screen grabs from eBay auctions, so they're not that great.

Great site! Any idea how I can get Adirondack shipping records for a particular player? I have a Morgan 71-79 bat that I would love to find out when he ordered this bat. I'm having a REALLY hard time photomatching or even STYLE matching it.

Old Adirondack shipping records are very tough to acquire, assuming they exist at all. I wouldn't get my hopes up... but you could always write to Bill Steele at Rawlings and ask him. I'd wait until summer because this is their busiest time of the year. Bill is more likely to respond once production dies down.

Thank you so much for the advice. I'll do it this summer when production slows down a bit. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Thanks,

labeling

Hi,
Could someone please tell me a website that has an explanation of different bat manufacturers yearly labeling. I used to have one in my favorites but my computer crashed and I can't remember it. Thanks for your help.

Boombats.com has a date/labeling period for different manufacturers.

I believe it needs to be updated but sitll some valuable info on there
