Help with info on bat I found.

Cool Bat. I've always liked the Marathon brand logo as they made some nice baseball gloves too. Think this is most likely just a store model bat but will let the experts chime in on value. Makes for a cool display piece.

I thought it looked cool also. That is why I grabbed it before he used it as a pry bar or to beat out a dent in something.

By auction I do not mean a memorabilia auction. I mean an auction where an old couple died or moved off the farm and sold all there stuff.

That's interesting. J.C. Penney used the Marathon brand for their hats back in the '40s and '50s.

Perhaps Montgomery Ward dropped them about that time and JC Penney picked them up?
