Thanks Greg for the information. That's pretty cool to think it could of been made for him for one of his businesses. If you have a chance would you be able to post the bats your have like this? Would love to see them.

Greg's suggestion is intriguing. Worth noting: back in 2001, Bushing and Knoll's Guide to Game Used Bats says that Lewis's L5 is among the "most predominant models found in the H&B bat records." Could players, say in the minors, have ordered an L5 from H&B and received a Buddy Lewis signature bat in the 60's? Would they recieve a Lewis bat? I understand that in this case, the words "Genuine Louisville Slugger" are supposed to be on the barrel, and maybe that puts this into a very special category of bat.
