According to the Vince Malta guide, Williams signed his signature endorsement contract with H&B in 1937. In his ordering records only one order appears in 1937 and it was for a Rogers Hornsby model 35", 34 oz. He only ordered 4 bats that year. That number increased to 40 the following year. There are no recorded orders for 1936.
Since Hornsby used a lot of knobless or near knobless bats, pretty safe to assume that Williams' bats from 1937 would likely have very slim knobs.
