Info and Cleaning Advice Needed Pls - LVS 40 N.B. "NIGHT BALL" SPECIAL MODEL Bat

[baseball tourist]

Thanks Tim and Nate. Ever see a night ball bat before? Why would this be a selling feature?

If this is a pro model bat then maybe this was a promotional model made for a player or players who played for a team that had electric lights on their field.

No, not a pro model bat. Just used a feature taken from a pro brand.

Best bet might be to contact Louisville Slugger or check through H&B catalogs from the mid-30s (1933-36 or so to see if there is any mention of these being offered or even introduced.

Thanks again Tim. Question...didn't LVS branding adjust to "TRADE MARK REG" below the oval in 1930?

[bat_master]

No. Trademark Reg didn't come about until around 1936.

Pic below is the center label from my 1933-34 Rabbit Maranville gamer.
