Frank WakefieldOh... you're breaking my heart. Somewhere I have 2 pages of H&B labels illustrated, chronologically, starting with just the Hillerich bats, and going to modern times. That list (wich I can't put my finger on at the moment) showed this label from about 1908 thru about 1918, to the best of my recollection. But you may well be correct leaving me disappointed with my bat. I find it difficult to believe that many players were waiving around a 37 inch bat in the late 20s. What source or reference to you base the notion that "USA" wasn't on there until your later dates??? I've got some other bats I'm curious about.
Thanks.
Frank.
