Brock,

I have what appears to be the the same bat, same labeling, except that my bat has the "H W Putnam" and "Greenfield S C" upside down from each other. You've got to turn the bat from left to right to be able to read each one. My bat is 35 inches and about 40 ounces or more. Very heavy bat. Also my bat is corked. Based on your bat's appearance and mine, I'd place this bat around the turn of the century. I was excited to see yours. H W Putnam was probably a tool company in South Carolina that made wooden implements like ax handles and made bats as a side line item.
