1930'S Joe Glenn Krens Retail Model Bat - New York Yankees - (MEARS LOA)

Offered is a bat by Krens with a center brand we have never seen. It is stamped: Harlold's Hy School Special and has the Joe Glenn script signature on barrel. Joe Gabby Glenn was a catcher for the Yankees behind Bill Dickey which was a bad place to be. He played with them from 1932-38 which included four Championship seasons including the called shot series with the Cubs. Any bat with his name attached is rare and this is the first retail bat of his we have ever examined.
