Looking for info on a Mel Ott bat

[slidekellyslide]

Has anyone ever seen a Louisville Slugger 125HS "Heartwood" Mel Ott bat before? It's 35" long - wondering what kind of value a bat like that has? Thanks.

All the bat collectors on this website and no one has a response to this question? Anyone ever seen a "Heartwood" Mel Ott bat? How about any Louisville Slugger with "Heartwood" stamped on it?

Can you post some photos of the bat, including both ends of the bat. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't own the bat, but had the opportunity to purchase it. The number 35 was on the end of the knob. "Heartwood" was in the spot you generally see "oil tempered", "Powerized", et cetera...at the barrel it said "SPECIAL MODEL" and under that was Mel Ott's signature.

It's a store model bat with a value around a $100.
