Always want to do your own homework, regardless of what the seller says it is. He can say it's store model and it can be pro; he can say it's pro and it can be store model. Good going on the '32 ID. Take note of the model number in the oval centerbrand on the bat barrel, Is it a 125 or a 40BR? If it's 40BR it's store model. If it's 125, take a look at the bottom of the knob and see if it states the number of inches of the bat, 34",35",36", etc. If the knob states the number of inches, then it's a store model. If not, it may be a pro, but you need to see if the inch marks were removed from the knob, other restoration, and check out a few more things to make certain, can post photos here if you like. Once determined to be pro model, then you need to determine if it's Ruths, let us know if it's pro model and we can further guide if it is. With regard to store model bats, a 125 store model is generally a little more valuable than a 40BR store model, condition is a factor of course, the Babe Ruth branded signature is important, how strong it is. Also the number of inches, want 34-36 inches ideally, the bigger, the better, also the heavier the better. If the tape is vintage and aesthetically good, this may be a positive, depends how the tape presents. In general, the average 40BR model bat would be about $400, A 125 store model (with inch marks) a few hundred more. If it is a 40BRJ, the J is for junior, and was a store model bat for kids, these are shorter and lighter than their 40BR counterparts, and are worth about $150.
