Ruth Game Bat?
 

Saw this bat on Ebay. It looks old, the markings look correct, but the "125" looks way bigger than any examples in the books I have. Any bat experts care to chime in on this?

This is my opinion so it may be way off. But the bat looks like it could be a late reproduction one(& sign is right under 2 in 125) and someone aged it( looks like someone just burned it). But like i said i may be way off.

i thought the same thing when i looked, it looks more burnt then aged... im not an expert by any means so i kept quiet, hopefully one of our bat experts chime in.

Its a modern bat, beat up and stained.

modern bat?
 

I didn't know they still used that big oval. I had some repro Ruth bats but the oval was way smaller.
