NOTES:
 
   For years the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. afforded schools, and colleges the opportunity to order signature model baseball bats with the approximate specifications used by professional ballplayers. The name of the college or initials would be branded into the barrel below the players name. This Mickey Mantle Louisville Slugger 125, K55 baseball bat was ordered by Berkshire Christian College, but with a 33 inch length. Mickey Mantle typically used 35" bats. In 1943 model numbers first appear on the knob of Louisville slugger baseball bats, retail bats would feature an inch mark, to help the consumer identify size.

 This Bat dates to the 1961-1964 manufacturing period. In 1964 REG US PAT OFF was removed from under the center oval label, and the registered trademark ® was placed after Louisville Slugger. Also in 1961 the "2" in 125 appears directly over the "&" in the label. Throughout his career, Mickey Mantle used Louisville Slugger models M110, K55, for the most part, and model W215 in 1966. He also used an Adirondack 302 bat on occasions.

 College bats will carry a premium above the value of a retail bat. Baseball bats closer to the players specifications, length and weight, could sell for more. In general you could add about 10% to the value of a retail bat of a star player, and 20% to Hall of Fame players. Baseball bats from top colleges with successful sports programs, will sell at a higher premium than smaller local schools and colleges.
