Posted By: <b>brock</b><p>Hi<br />I have never seen a bat like this. The brand was in none of my books or anything. Was it fake or 1 of a kind.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180176498676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180176498676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180176498676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008</a</a>><br />

Posted By: <b>Tom Russo</b><p>My reference books (Malta and others)suggest that the J.F. Hillerich & Son Co. logo was used on bats manufactured from about 1906 to 1915.

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>It dates from 1911 (that is when the Co was added in the center brand) but prior to 1916 when Bradsby joined the label. It's a model 125 which is a professional grade of bat. This is a rare bat and Fred got it for a great price IMO. It's a $500 - $600 piece at the National.
