Shawn,

Mike is right. Your bat is likely from the 50's or 60's. Many of these types of generic bats were made as promo or give-away items with purchases. It was common at that time for companies to have these bats made up for that purpose. Shoe stores, sporting goods stores, and may other types of businesses used this to draw customers, especially those with children. I can't see the whole bat but yours looks like a nice example. It, obviously, was meant as a child's bat due to length and weight.
