Default Question re. old bat with round knob!
Posted By: Hal Lewis

It was made after 1894, since that is when Hillerich first obtained the trademark for "Louisville Slugger."

After 1905 when Honus Wagner signed with Hillerich & Sons, they started engraving the names of professional players on all bats that were sold in stores.

Thus, since this bat has NO NAME engraved on it...

It was made sometime between 1894 and 1905.

Definitely a GREAT PIECE!!

I agree that I would pay $1,000 for it.
