Presentation, Award and Commemorative Bats

1. Don Gutteridge Presentation Bat, Adirondack 302. Spectacular presentation bat given by the Los Angeles Dodgers to Dodger scout Don Gutteridge. Plaque says "Los Angeles 1981 World Champions defeated New York Yankees 4 games to 2 games". Gutteridge was a scout with the Dodgers from 1977-94 and was also a long time player, coach and manager. Gutteridge autographed the bat and noted: Cardinals 1936-40, Browns 1942-46, Red Sox 1946, Pirates 1948, World Series 1944 & 46, White Sox coach 1955-66 & Manager 1969-70. Mint condition, 34". A great piece. $295

2. 1910's-20's Chevrolet World Series Sales Presentation Bat. An incredible piece of Americana. Everything about this bat has the warm glow of American history and tradition. The Chevrolet executive Morgan D. Douglas whose signature is present on the award plate became a regional sales director in 1917 and remained a Chevrolet sales director through the 1920's so the bat is from this era. The bat itself looks like it's from the turn of the century with it's nearly acorn style knob and the period style barrel end leading me to believe an older bat maker was contracted to make this bat by Chevrolet. The presentation plate is in exellent condition with light wear. The only flaw on the bat is a light scratch on the side opposite the plate. Outstanding. 30 1/4". Ex/Mt+ $295

 

Mini Bats

1. Al Schacht, Hillerich & Bradsby 125. A beautiful mini bat from Al Schacht's restaurant during the 1950's. Al played with the Washington Senators during the 1920's then went on to become the original "Clown Prince of Baseball". Superb labeling and finish. Has a couple of tiny dings on the back. Ex/Mt+ $40

2. Johnny Logan, Hillerich & Bradsby 125. A very nice 1950's bat. 18" Ex/Mt $25

3. Reggie Jackson, Hillerich & Bradsby 125. A very nice 1970's bat.16" Ex/Mt $20

4. Whitey Lockman, Hillerich & Bradsby 125. A very nice 1940's-50's bat with a couple of very small nicks on the barrel. 16" Ex/Mt $25

5. Bob Thomson, Adirondack 302. This bat was sawn in half with a flat back side and appears to have been affixed to a pennant or sign. Has beautifully etched in labeling. Nicely sawn. Near Mint condition. 8 1/2" $10

6. Forrest "Woody" Jensen, Hillerich & Bradsby 125. A beautiful and mysterious 22" bat. Has numerous signatures of the 1940 World Champion Cincinnati Reds on the bat which I do not think are authentic. The signatures were apparently made with gold calligraphy ink as there are blotter spots. Woody Jensen played his entire career with the Pittsburgh Pirates and retired in 1939 so this cannot be a factory World Series souvenir bat. Most signatures are nearly worn away. Visible or partially visible signatures include Bill Werber, Frank McCormick Mike McCormick, Morrie Arnovich, Ival Goodman, Bill Baker, Whitey Moore & Harry Craft. It is possible that some of, if not all of, these were "clubhouse" signatures which means they were done by a teams bat boy with the players blessings who wanted to beg off from the obligatory signings. The bat boys often became expert forgers and usually were compensated by the players in some way. This was decades before sports signatures had any monetary value, so the players felt no harm was done. The most obvious incorrect signature is Lou Riggs who went by Lew Riggs. An interesting bat from the 1930's nonetheless. Ex/Mt $65

7. 1950's St. Louis Cardinals Souvenir Bat, Adirondack 302S. Outstanding condition with very nice labeling and finish. Labeling dates bat to late 1950's. 18" Ex/Mt $25

8. 1950's Portland Beavers Souvenir Bat, Adirondack. 18 inch mini bat. Has light labeling. Wood has a nice antique patina. Ex+ $35

9. 1920's-30's Goldsmith Mini Bat, Goldsmith 342. More of a youth bat than a mini bat however at 22" I'll list it with the mini bats. Has nice etched in labeling. The bat has lots of dings and a repaired handle crack. A nice antique look and might be perfect for displaying in a shadow box. Vg $25

10. 1930's-40's Paola Indiana Mini Bat, Indiana Bat Co.. A very nice 1930's-40's bat. 12" Ex/Mt $15
