H&B Profesional Baseball Fund bats info?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hoping some bat experts on here can impart some knowledge.

I have a few retail model bats for a display of mine and am looking to add a few more so always looking on ebay.

In the past couple weeks I have seen 2 30s-40s H&B retail bats with an additional brand that says "Professional Baseball Fund."
One was on a Ruth 40 B.R. and one on a Dimaggio bat 125 J.D.

I was just curious what the Fund was and where these bats were sold or available since I haven't seen many of these brands previously?

Added some pictures for reference

Thanks for any info.Attachment 532651Attachment 532652

Look here for a bit of background on the Fund. Seems to have been a wartime (WWII) effort to purchase equipment for military training camps

Thank you!
My Google searching focused on bats and came up empty.
