I have a Hanna Batrite Ruth bat that is the same as this one https://www.mearsonlineauctions.com/...lot101844.aspx with the exception of the number 55 following Ruth’s name, mine is 56. Does anyone have any information regarding these numbers? Thanks Larry

Yours measures 36 inches? I believe Ruth was model five and the subsequent number denotes length. Haven't read up on it for a while but believe that's the case.
