EDDIE COLLINS PROFESSIONAL MODEL BAT
An un-cracked, J.F. Hillerich & Son, Pre Model number bat dating from the 1905-10 labeling period with the signature E.T. Collins emblazoned upon the barrel. Exhibits outstanding use with two chips on the knob, ball marks and stitch impressions on the right and back barrel and lathe marks on the knob and top of the barrel. The bat also shows evidence of having been factory side written, containing the name Edw. T. Collins in grease pencil on the right barrel and Edw. Collins on the back barrel. During the first half of the 20th Century, it was commonplace for players to send a preferred model bat back to the factory to request models of the same type. Once at the factory, it would be planed and inscribed with the length, weight, player’s name, date received and team affiliation. Hall of Famer Eddie Collins (1887-1951) played for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1906-1914, during the labeling period of the offered bat. Additionally, C139 vault marks that appear on the top and bottom barrel were applied circa 1939-1947 when the manufacturer adopted model numbers. Authenticated and graded by PSA/DNA GU 10
