Thank you guys for the input. So going off of Malta's book...bats during the 20s had both the baselined 1 in "125" and non- baselined 1 in "125"? That was the one thing I was basing the date off of was the non baselined 1 on my bat. I just thought that all bats before 1928 had the baselined 1 until Brock mentioned 1923-25 time frame and saw that early 20s bats had non baselined 1 as well.
PS- Here is a photo of Simmons holding a bat with tape application.
