Ray O'Brien had a 19 yr. minor league career from 1913 to 1932. Also, a 16 game call up in June of 1916 with ML Pittsburgh. Do these markings indicate possible or intended game use? Bat length is 35". Some of Ray's stays in the minors were lengthy and I wonder if store model bats would be offered for a locally popular player?
Thank you in advance for ideas shared.
