Hank Aaron Bat -- Dartmouth College
 

Can anyone tell me more about this?

Thanks.

Back in the day when colleges still used wooden bats, they could purchase bulk lots of assorted sizes/models from H&B at a discount. Often, the factory would stamp the college's name on the barrel.

Cool. Thank you for this. Any thoughts on the year of this bat and or the current value?

Can you post a larger pic of the center logo with the POWERIZED showing, it will help in dating it.

As far as value I have no idea on Aaron models. I do collect his teammate and fellow HOFer Eddie Mathews. His similar bats can be picked up for under $50 pretty easily.

Close up.

It's 77-79.

great bat, worth $175 at the low end

Thanks. I'm putting on BST shortly.

If you can get $175 for the bat, I'd click my heels and jump for joy. Best of luck!

I have had several HOF player bats from various colleges over the years and they usually sell for 40-100 dollars depending on the length, player, and also the college. If the Aaron is post career, I would think its value is on the lower end but I am not certain.

I picked up a mid 1960's labeling period Mickey Mantle signature bat from the college I attended for $50 at a Hunt Auctions Valley Forge Show a few years ago

If it is in the 40-500 range I'd be really interested in picking up for my brother-in-law, a Dartmouth grad (undergraduate and medical)

Yes, in the late-1960s I was on the MIT baseball team(or should I say the bench of the MIT baseball team) and I remember trying to hit with both Roger Maris’s and Nellie Fox’s bats. I guess we were not good enough because our bats were not stamped with the school name, but they were the game models. BTW, the Fox bat was a bottle handle and the Maris had a thin handle. Neither worked particularly well for me.
