A visual delight swings by, with this 1950s H&B Jackie Robinson Little League decal bat. Measuring 33" long, this No. JL model bat has a dark brown finish, decorated with a Robinson photo in a red and yellow "Little League" ribbon decal on the barrel. Robinson's name and the legend "It's A Louisville" are printed across the bottom of the ribbon, and the legend is also burned into the bat, just east of the factory label. The handle is covered in black tape, and there's a spot of extraneous matter on the barrel, between the label and the decal. Though the bat shows extensive signs of use/wear, including flecks of surface loss on the decal, authentic period appeal is abundant.
Also included, is a vintage bat box labeled "A Rawlings Gift, No. 2". This box retains a solid, attractive shape, and shows moderate wear.
