Hanna Batrite TYPE vs Blank Barrel

Thanks for sharing the detailed version of the court transcripts. They should aid in enlightening the collecting community about the Hanna Batrite court case. With respect to the Babe Ruth bat offered in the MEARS auction, there is one major distinction which is not adressed in the court transcripts and must be attributed to the manufacturing process and possible response to the ongoing litigation.

Lack of "Georgia/Beaver Driver, TA stamp on barrel. All of the known store model Batrite bats were found with the additional barrel stampings, Georgia/Beaver Driver, TA on the barrel. All of the player name only barrel stampings are consistent with player ordered / professional model only game bats. This have been photographically documented.

All of the surviving photos show players with name only on the barrel without the Beaver Driver marks. This is a rare example of the player name being combined with the word "type" and may have been done at the factory in response to the on going litigation.

Regards,

Troy R. Kinunen / MEARS
