Eddie Collins Louisville Slugger miniature decal bat
 

Hello,

Thank you in advance for any info you can give me on this bat. It came from an estate sale. I don't know anything about bats or baseball memorabilia so if you could help me out, I would really appreciate it. I need to know if this is a replica or an original souvenir - Eddie Collins Louisville Slugger miniature decal bat. I don't know what kind of details to look for in an original bat. Thanks!

for the life of me I can never remember ever seeing a L/S mini decal bat without a H&B logo on the bat.

But I went and looked around and found one from a Hunt Auctions a few years ago. That one was 14" long

and another that was 12"

Never seen one that small before. Nice find!

Not nearly as nice, but here's a 12" Hank Gowdy decal bat....circa 1915
