The wood on this retail signature model top of the line 125 model is as good as could be found on any 20K gamer. It has a beautiful dark finish with deep factory stamps and from the face, it is identical to a game used Speaker bat except for the 35" stamped on the knob. Considered one of the greatest ball players to ever play the game.
Year: 1921-30
Length: 35" stamped on knob.
Weight: 39.6 oz.
Side Writing: None.
Game Use: Most use on bottom and back of barrel that now has some dead wood and grain separation. The barrel is loaded with cleat marks as well.
Handle: 7" closed crack with a 4.5" area that is lighter than rest of bat from long time tape repair of crack.
Comments: The end of the barrel has BM carved into it. Other than the light handle crack repair area, the piece is stunning and made to Speaker factory game specs as well.
