John, great photo I haven't seen that one yet. I've found photos of Sam Crawford and Miller Huggins holding similar Spalding bats. The experts say the first step in determining possible game use is the lack of the Spading trade mark logo on the knob and end of bat. Store model bats will have it on both ends and some will have it on only one end. The ends should also showing rasping marks where the lathe dowels were cut and rasped. This only applies to the autograph models. The next step would then be to compare it to other known game examples. That's about the only way to tell without direct provenance. I would bet that your bat has the Spalding logo on the knob only.
