NOTES:
 
    The Peters Shoe Company, established in 1892 by Henry William Peters of St. Louis, used the original Weatherbird image for promotions from 1907 to 1932. The Weatherbird was a cartoon character in a comic strip that was first published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper in 1901. Drawn by Harry B. Martin the Weatherbird logo was used on many promotional items such as whistles, Clickers, noisemakers, and baseball bats. By the 1940's Peters Shoes used a new "Weather-Bird" logo of a Weathervane Chicken (Roster), that was also used on the baseball bats.

 The early bats made before 1932, feature a circled center brand that reads "PETERS" at the top, "SHOES" at the bottom, separated by a diamond that inside reads "DIAMOND BRAND" The barrel features the Harry B. Martin "Boy Weatherbird" (there is also a girl Weatherbird that appears in ads) and to the right reads "PETERS WEATHERBIRD, SHOES FOR BOYS"

 The later bats that were made by the 1940's feature the new Weather-Bird logo which is a Weathervane Chicken and inside the logo reads, "PETERS WEATHER-BIRD SHOES" The barrel reads "Big League" in cursive branding.
