Babe Ruth musical bat and Red Sox pin?

[Pat R]

I was doing some organizing and I came across these but I don't remember
where I got them.

The only information I found on the bat is two past auctions.

I'm pretty sure what I have is probably replica souvenirs that I purchased at Cooperstown or the Babe Ruth Museum but if the bat is a replica I don't
see any difference in the one I have and the two that sold in the auctions. The bat measures 3 7/8 inches.

I would appreciate any information.

Thanks,
Patrick

The Babe Harmonica Bat is authentic, and is worth about $150, in my opinion. It would be closer to (or just above) $200, if not for the heavy wear to the air chambers.

The Pin is from American Nut & Chocolate, and worth around $20. Here's one currently on eBay...

Hope this helps.

It does thank you Mark.

I can't remember where I got them but I must have purchased them
together because the bat and pin were in the bag in the first picture
I posted. Back in 1987-88 a local card shop used to have auctions
on Saturday nights so I think I might have picked them up there
and I think the 128 on the bag is probably a lot#.

Makes sense...

I'd estimate that I've forgotten where I bought/acquired/traded for at least 1/4 of the items in my collection. Maybe even one third. Too many years of collecting, and it's all now blurring together.
