Jim Bottomley 1920s/30s Hanna Batrite Georgia Driver WA 47 Bat Cardinals Browns

Description

This Hanna Batrite bat appears to date to the 1920's or 1930's.  It is the WA BOTTOMLEY 47 Georgia Driver model. 34" long, a couple of cracks, some checking, rough knob and roughness at the end of the barrel as the photos will show. On the plus side; strong burned-in markings and likely VERY RARE.  Edw. J. Rose is also burned in to the barrel between the center label and barrel markings. Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley played 16 years in the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals St. Louis Browns and Cinci Reds.
