If it stands that mine is a 1921-22 and we know there are bats from 1922 with "Made In USA" in the center label after it replaced the -.- below, then I would make the logical conclusion that your bat is likely a 1922 transition bat.

I have a good friend named Lou Fonseca. I’d love to gift him a Fonseca bat.
