Mark, I love the O'Doul/Waner bat! A lot of Pirates from the 1920's used Krens. I have a 1926 article on Joseph Kren and it states that "Speaker, Hornsby, Emil Meusel, Kiki Cuyler and practically every player on the world championship Pittsburgh Pirates use Kren bats".
Of all the gamers and store models I have, only two models overlap - model 145 and model 316W (Waner model). And yes model 24 EM is Irish Meusel. I really haven't seen and models more common than others but not sure I have a large enough sample size.
