1915 reverse decal bat
I believe this mini bat is in my opinion the most important bat in the mini bat series. As I have said this before the bats were made the decals arrived and this decal just did not fit.
This the only 12 inch decal bat from this period I have ever seen.
I have heard of a other players on 12 inch decal bats but no one that has claimed to have one has ever sent me a pitcher of one.
I believe this bat made H&S change the decal bats to 14 inches.
Waist was not a option in 1915 these bats were made from left over material
I believe this also made it difficult to make these bats. and this is the reason decals were still available after 1916?.

Thanks for the info Bobby, very interesting, and your theory about the availability of decals makes some sense. Cool bat...is it yours?

...and if someone does end up sending you a "pitcher" of another, please don't "waist" any time posting it here :rolleyes: :p.....just kidding. In all seriousness, thanks for sharing your knowledge of these bats. I am much more informed if I come across any.

H&S Wagner reverse decal bat
 
I own two of them. i wouldn't buy one without the center emblem unless cheep
I have seen six 12 inch reverse Wagner decal bats in 30 years. I have seen about the same without the H&S emblem.

The dash dot dash bat mini listed last week that's the only one of those I think I have seen

If you have any opinions good or bad I want to no. all info is good info.
