Not sure how much this is going to help, but below is a scan of a portion of a 13.5-inch mini bat that I've had in my collection for quite some time. I think the World's Champions stamping is very similar if not identical to yours. You'll also see that near the end of the bat is the stamping Souvenir of Cleveland. I always figured this to be from 1948 (mainly because I thought it would be incredible luck if it was from 1920), but the World's Champions, as opposed to "World" Champions doesn't seem to fit the time frame of the late 1940s as well as it does the teens or 1920s. But it's not like there was a written rule for something like that.
