Kren's Bat - Is it a gamer?
Picked this up this weekend and wondering if it's truly a gamer. Doing some back searching in Net54 I found a thread that said even obscure player models from Kren may be store models. The signature on the bat is "Gene Sheridan" aka Red Sheridan who played a total of 5 games over two seasons with Brooklyn.

Kren bat
There was a thread a while back that suggested that gamers usually have the player's name in block letters. I think that they also tended to have the model number instead of the phrase "hand turned" inside the label. I could find and post the past-thread, but that is always a conversation stopper. It would be good to hear some up to date, state of the art, cutting edge views on this subject.

Dan, great bat and he would definitely fall into the obscure category. This bat is not in any of my retail catalogs but not to say it wasn’t offered. I always feel more confident of game used Kren bats with the name in block letters. Here’s a pic of a 35in Sheridan bat.

When was "Creosote Treated Trademark" placed on the barrel?

I own a Medwick Krens bat, with the 150 model number in the Center brand and “Medwick style” in block letters, with the knob stamped “34”.
Would gamers appear similar to mine, but without the length stamping? Also, what is the difference between the "Krens Special" and "Major League" center brand designations? If anyone has info, I'd love to learn more... Last edited by Huysmans; 11-15-2017 at 08:27 AM. |

Best guess based on some old catalogs and dated side written bats from the Louisville Slugger vault is mid 1930's.
