Thanks for posting that auction link - somehow I missed that one last year. A Pete Hill, Martin Dihigo, Oscar Charleston and JOSH GIBSON bat? That's some ultra-rare lumber!
The examples in the auction reinforces what I have learned about H&B making block lettered pro-model bats for Negro League players. The bats in the auction are mid-1920's to 1937 models and my illustration will be circa 1935-1940. I suppose it would not be out of line to show a block letter H&B or even a Spalding bat.
Thanks again for bringing that auction to my attention!
