I recently purchased this Circ 1930 Hanna Batrite (Bat logo) Jimmie Foxx Baseball bat with some other bats and vintage gloves at a local auction. This was the only item in the lot that interested me. Based upon my research it appears to be a good find. It has the 1930 patent stamp on the knob. The bat does have a small crack on the handle.

Can anyone tell if the Knob is hand turned?

Does the crack hurt the value?

Does the double impression of the patent stamp help or hurt the value?

Is it a professional model?

Should I get it authenticated?


I am looking to get as much feedback as possible.

Thanks for your help.
