NOTES:
 
   The Harvard brand of baseball bats were produced for the George Worthington Company. The wholesale Hardware company located in Cleveland, Ohio, was started by a 16 year old George Worthington in 1829. The first hardware store  was opened in 1835 when he acquired a competitor, McCurdy & Conklin. The advent of the railroad and the Civil War stimulated the company's growth. By 1870 the firm began issuing yearly catalogs as sales reached $1.5 million, and incorporated in 1887. From 1986-88 the company reorganized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy law, and in 1991 the company ceased to exist, after 162 years in business.

 The "GWCo." logo was used sometime around the 1920's through to the 1940s. The 1922 Geo. Worthington Co. catalog lists; the Harvard Professional Model, Professional League, three Special League bats, and three Boys Models. One of the boys models is a red and black, ring bat.
