I inquired about the bat to see if there was any marking on the knob. He sent me a better photo of the knob with what appeared to be a 34. I asked him if it was in fact a 34 which he confirmed. |

"We have also done several articles on this very site with regards to some pre war off brand game bats such as Hanna Bat Rite, Spalding, Kren, and Zinn Beck. (Besides the photo from Marshall Fogel’s collection showing Ruth in front of the dugout with an obvious Zinn Beck model in the photo, another photo exists in Stephen Wong’s latest book (Smithsonian Baseball) on page 70, a killer, 1926 dated photograph taken in the locker room with Babe Ruth clearly holding a Zinn Beck Bob Meusel model 100 Diamond Ace) We have talked about everything from hand turned models to those models actually marked HAND TURNED on the center brand. We have denoted that some pro model game bats actually had inch marks stamped on the knob ( Hanna model bats with name only on barrel for example) which leads me to the real reason behind this article, another rather startling discovery and printed, to my knowledge, here for the first time. H&B made game model bats, those never, ever made available to the general public, with INCH MARKINGS on the knob. " http://www.mearsonline.com/index.php...template=false |

He showed me that same article. And just like him, you leave out the most important line. "Well, it is entirely possible that players, even well known and signature model endorses, may have used 125 models with inch marks but if they also had a catalog model, no such claim could be espoused with any reliability." Pretty sure Paul Waner shows up in the catalogs. |

Have any other Waner bats been found with the characteristics of the one you sold? ('bone rubbed' and inch markings)
