Default Two awesome DiMaggio bats

Just got these in the mail (from separate purchases) yesterday and today.
One is (I think) and 1951-57 Adirondack "DiMaggio Type". It had a crack, but someone obviously spent some love repairing it. Absolutely beautiful bat.

The other one is (I think) a 1946-50 Adirondack "DiMaggio Type". This one is curious. It doesn't have the "Personal Model" above and below the name on the barrel; nor does it have "Flexible Whip Action" to the right of the label. There is also no number (or anything else) on the knob.
However, what it does have is signs of use. There is lots of pine tar on the handle, and some (very minor) grain separation on the barrel. There is a minor crack along the handle (covered by the pine tar), but nothing that detracts from the gorgeous visual display.

I love these bats, and they are now hanging on my wall right next to my prized DiMaggio bat.
