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
.....just kidding. In all seriousness, thanks for sharing your knowledge of these bats. I am much more informed if I come across any.
