Help with a DiMaggio bat, part I
I bought this nice old store model Joe DiMaggio bat recently. I am trying to date it, but am having trouble.
It has the "TRADE MARK REG" outside the oval, so I think that is 1930-1947.
But is also has "Oil Tempered" to the right, so is that 1993-ish?
The problem with that is that Joe of course didn't play in the bigs until 1936.
Did the "Oil Tempered" stay on the bats until later?
Thanks,
Sean
