Adirondack Bat Help

[eastonfalcon19]

I know this is probably a long shot but I thought I would ask for help on this Adirondack bat. The reason I bought it was because I liked the mad magazine painting on it ( I only paid $3 for it). As I looked more closely at it I could make out a name but can only make out the letters U,I, and A, the rest is very hard to make out. On the knob is the model number 15 D. So my question is do any of the bat experts know of some players that used that model? I also would like to know if there is any way to figure out what the other letters are? I appreciate any help with this bat.

This is just a guess from the letters you already provided -- Stan Musial?

Bat appears to be from 1958-60. If you can tell if it says "Flexible Whip Action" or just "Whip Action" you can tell if it's 1960 or not.

D model bats are the ones people chalk up as store models. I'm sure there are exceptions, though.

Look for "Musial Model," since that's what his bats would say.
