NOTES:

 The H&B Safe hit Baseball Bat was an inexpensive retail baseball bat carried for many years in the Hillerich & Bradsby line of store model bats. Originally designated with the catalog No. 15, the first Safe Hit models came with a decal on the barrel that read "Professional".  The catalog number was changed to No. 14 in 1939. The Joe DiMaggio Safe Hit bat pictured above can be dated to about 1939-1952. This H&B center Brand was first used in 1932 and continued until 1952.
