WTB: Kren bats

[KrenBats]

Nice bat. Based on the label, bat is around early 50's. Probably too short to be a gamer. Kren was pretty creative in their retail models especially for the non H&B players. I would price the bat $75-125, maybe a little more for a Dodgers collector.

I didn't realize kren was still making bats with that type of label.

It's right on the cusp when they changed their label. Kren died in 1953 and the company was sold to the Wood Shovel and Tool Company. It's definitely no later than 1953. Also, you can notice a yellow paint wash over the bat that they applied towards the end of their production.

I am mostly a card collector, but I do have this cracked, 35" Kren's Mickey Vernon bat, which has been autographed by Vernon. I picked it up 20-25 years ago because Vernon was one of my favorite Senators' players when I was a youngster. I have long assumed it is a store model bat, but I am wondering if it might be a professional model. Mike, any info about this bat that you or any other bat collector can share with me will be much appreciated.
