Anyone know how to remove a broken bat from Hartland Statue
Hi,
I have a couple of Hartland Statues with broken bats. Unfortunately the broken bottom part of the bat is stuck in the hands and won't come out. Does anyone know the best way the remove the broken bat? One of the the Hartland's is a Dick Groat. Thanks in advance for any/all help.

Sounds like someone glued the bat in their hands and then it broke off. If that’s the case you may have to carefully drill out the broken part.

Hartland Bat
Yes, in my experience, drilling is the only way to remove a glued in broken bat. I have drilled out several without issue. Just use a small diameter bit and take your time. Sometime the rotation of the bit will loosen the glue and the broken piece will just pop out.

Hartland bat
before drilling, you might try a little heat, from a hair dryer. I have a Ruth Heartland, and the bat has been gone for many years, but I did glue it in with Elmer's Glue back in the early 60's. Note: no super glue was around then.
