These bats were manufactured in the early to mid 1920's so after he was banned from the major leagues but certainly during his post career barnstorming playing days. I have seen some considered professional model bats. Not sure but assume there were retail models as well and I have no idea what the differences were. It is an interesting Joe Jackson artifact but I do not know the value. The chances of it having been used by Jackson I would say is likely near zero but it would still have some value. There are certainly expert bat members here who will likely comment with a lot more information than I have.
