Here is a professional model bat. It has the “Made By”. Home Run Baker…

I have a few in my collection. The first is a HomeRun Baker. Second is a Nap Lajoie model. Now the only reason I believe it to be a Lajoie is that you can see the red outline of where the decal once was. I looked at the decal models and Lajoie was the only one that had a red outline. The third one has very little left of a decal but you can see part of it still on the barrel. This model looks like a Collins based on the tape job and taper of the handle and knob. All of these are hand turned pro model decal bats.

Great bats! Do you consider these game used at all? I’d love to learn more as I have one myself.

Here is a Lajoie decal that sold at auction. If you look at the red outline and design on both, they are the same.

Thank you! I would think they have a good chance of being game used but can't say with 100% certainty that they were without any type of provenance. Would love to see more bats you have.

Ron I just have a bunch of t206 player game used bats. About 40. And 1 that totally doesn’t fit into my collection but I couldn’t pass it up.… A Willie Mays gamer (Adirondack).
