A beauty from the early 1900s, this Louisville Slugger model 40W bat bears the decal of Honus Wagner. As is typical of the period, the barrel is narrow yet the piece weighs a hefty 40 oz. to go with its 34" length. While it is believed that Wagner actually used his own decal bat in games, the model in the manufacturer's stamp shows that this is a store model. Still, these are very hard to find and even more difficult with so much of the decal visible. There is some wear at the top of the diamond but much of Wagner's image as well as is signature are clearly evident. The bat istelf is amazingly well-preserved, with no major flaws evident.
