You guys are going to kill me I know... I am caught short here so these photos are the best I have for now...:)

I picked up this baseball bat - Have tried to research the heck out of it... Cannot find a single thing on it?

Anyone here heard of or know about these? I am guessing 1960s? I will get length etc. when I get back to her.

Thank you,

My guess is that it is a store model/kids bat. The maker did and I believe, stil does make pro model equipment. Here is a 1960's flannel Tokyo Giants jersey that I have manufactured by the same co.

Thanks guys,

I just checked the spelling, it's definitely Kanazawa....

Bat measures: 32 inches

What's up with the circle on the top? Corked or something?
