Vintage Bats. Need some help
 

First time poster. Great site!
I recently bought some bats and wondering if anybody can date them and has some history on them,
1st is a Draper Maynard No 60 Home Run model
2nd is a Hillerich and Bradsby Floyd Patterson Autograph model
3rd is "The Victor" No 94 model 6
Also any help on how to clean these bats would be great. Keep the tape on or take it off?

Anything on the end of the Patterson?

D&m - 1940's
Victor late teens to 20's
Patterson 1950s - pro model - most prefer them not cleaned

On the other , use some lemon oil to shine them.. And leave tape on

Patterson Bat
 

The bat has a P 13 on the knob. In the picture it may look like a 4 but I believe it is a pit on the end of the bat. The bat is 36" long

looks like 134 to me.game model late 40s

Who is Floyd Patterson? How does he get a signature model LS?

That reg us pat off puts you in the 50's . There a was minor league pitcher with that name

'To clean or not to clean' depends on value and what you plan to do with them. If they are in halfway decent condition, and worth more than $50, I wouldn't touch them. But if you want to keep them and just like having nice bats lying around your house for display purposes, then clean them.

If you decide to clean/refinish, shoot me an email and I'll give you my thoughts. I restore antique pool cues as a very minor part of my business, and the few bats I've done have turned out well.

How often do minor league pitchers get signature model bats?

The player contracts back then could be as low as $5
So pretty much any player could get one
