Change to Powerized on some bats for 1964. This bat has the earlier version. Mantle ordered the 35" M110 model bats in 1961 (33 oz) and 1964 (34 oz). Not sure how that is "several times during that period". That's two years. Plus this is only a one ounce difference in orders. I'm pretty sure they weren't using digital scales back then.

What did it weigh exactly when you put it on a scale? Is 33 ounces what it weighs now? I wonder how much weight the bat lost...it does look weathered.

i have not found a scale to weigh it on. im thinking about taking it to the post office. i am not sure if this sort of thing is frowned upon there tho.

I used to do it and they never said anything.

Depends on the attitude of the postal clerk. You might also ask them if they have a box that it will fit in and weigh that, etc. You know, make it look like you're going to actually be shipping something rather than just using them for their scale
