Default Age of Tris Speaker & Doubleday Field mini bats?
I recently got a these mini bats in a lot with a few other things...

The Speaker measures roughly 16 inches:
Trademark reads:
LOUISVILLE SLUGGER
40
Hillerich & Bradsby Co
Trade Mark
LOUISVILLE, KY

Has a large facsimile signature on the barrel and underneath reads "REG.U.S.PAT.OFF"


The Doubleday Field bat measures just over 16 inches and has a blue and red diamond on the barrel. The outside reads "The birthplace of Baseball" and "Made in Cooperstown," and the inside reads "Doubleday Field Bat 1839-1939." Definitely seems old but I am unsure if it dates from 1939 or not.

I'll try to post pictures tonight.
