I purchased this Joe Cronin Bat today at an antique mall and was wondering about it's date. The oval center brand with "Trade Mark Reg US Pat Off" was
supposedly used from 1916-1929. The "Powerized and Oil Tempered" stamp was supposedly only used from 1933-1934. How can they be on the same bat. The bottom of the bat is stamped with "35". By the way, the asking price for this bat was $16.95
