Troy
Started my research long before I got your email this morning in reference to the Ruth Bat. My post just happens to coincide with it and by no means is it an address to your auction. My post in my opinion using court records as a basis and was started in reference to another bat on this site from a few months ago.
The "idea" of using Type or Style wasn't addressed until the Appeals Court Judges submitted their findings in September 1935.
The original case had more to do with the center label and the fact that it was oval and could cause a buyer to make a purchase thinking it was an H&B. The name at the end of the bat was used as more proof of similarity
The case was about store bats and not pro bats
