I think someone bought the lot and than another eBay person told the seller what they have. So the seller probably cancelled the sale and contacted taube or auction house.

You're right, because that same seller is selling the Parent and Williams bats separately. The Williams is a store model, and the Parent is Sanford, not a known pro model bat manufacturer. Do you have a link to anything about Taube authenticating it? Did they have factory records back then? It just seems so arbitrary with no provenance and four letters that anyone could've stamped. We've all seen black dash-dot-dashes out there.

What do you guys think about the Cy Williams bat? Has the "W" scratched in the knob but it's a 40CW, which makes it store model. Any idea what GPR and ACS stand for?

There was another bat sold at auction from 1916 with ruth stamped. So I'm sure taube can tell whether its new vs old.

Block lettered bats can be tough, but based on the label and when Ruth had an agreement, we are looking at around a 1916-17 bat, I think.
Not many Ruth's back then either.

It looks to be his model, in terms of knob, handle, and barrel shapes and proportions. Would need to really see in person, but from here looks correct. The model that was to be a new standard bearer.thinner handle, flat delineated knob, yet full barrel. While such a bat with a medium club-like-appearance is more widely found post 1920, as players copied Ruth, that model type is not as widely found pre 1920.

Yeah that's pretty amazing to turn up. Someone who sees it at the national please let us know what the asking price is if its offered there along with any more details.
