Default Ernie Lombardi Game Used Bat

Picked this one up for my collection. I'm figuring it's 1937-40 or so. 35", 35 oz. Supposedly the bat belonged to the great uncle of the seller. The uncle had acquired the bat at an auction back in the 1950s and had gotten it with a glove and a signed ball as well.

Lombardi's bats are one of the somewhat more difficult to obtain bats of the pre-war Hall of Fame members. This is actually the 2nd Lombardi game used bat I've owned. At some point after I sold it, the previous bat sold through the "GOLDEN AGE OF BASEBALL" auction at Christie's back in 2017 for $9375. That bat is now shown on the PSA Pro Bat Facts website.
