Looking to do some trading here! I'd be interested in trading either of these two game used bats for other vintage game used bats (pre-1960), early HOFer signatures, vintage baseball advertising, Piedmont tobacco advertising chair(s)...I'm into vintage baseball so open minded!

A little about the bats...

Andy Pafko Game Used Bat Hillerich & Bradsby pre-model bat, circa 1944-48 is un-cracked and displays evidence of excellent use. Several ball marks and stitch impressions can be seen on all sides of the barrel. Slight checking (grain swelling) can be seen on the right, left and back barrel from repeated ball contact. Cleat impressions are visible on the back barrel. There is a light coat of pine tar on the handle and the lower handle has a spiral tape application to enhance the grip. There is a small chip in the knob. A nice Cubs bat of this former 'All Star', who enjoyed a productive 17 year Major League career.

Tony Oliva Game Used Bat Hillerich & Bradsby Model D2 is from 1961-64. Bat exhibits outstanding use with heavy pinetar, multiple ball marks and ball seam impressions, bat rack marks, cleat marks and grooving on the lower handle for grip enhancement. Bat was cracked and has been professionally repaired. Under the knob you can see green paint from Met Stadium.
