If your bat reads J.F. HILLERERICH & SON Co. in the center brand as you state It would be dated to the 1911 -1916 bat labeling period. In 1911 Louisville Slugger started to use HILLERERICH & Son Co in their center brand as opposed to just J.F. HILLERERICH & SON. Starting in 1916 they drop the word SON and go with HILLERERICH & BRADSBYCo. The bottom of the oval should read TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF.

What is the value of a hillerich and bradsby co king of the field no 13 bat with league regulation engravement on the barrel?
The printing on your bat might be a bit worn and should read "Hillerich & Bradsby" the maker of Louisville Slugger bats. Before 1916 the company went by the name "J.F. Hillerich & Son co." so the bat you have that reads "Hillerich & Bradsby" should be dated between 1916-1920s The "J.F. Hillerich & Son" # 7 bat is dated before 1911. After 1911 they added "co." to the end of the name "J.F. Hillerich & Son" and I know of a King of the field #12 bat that dates to this 1911-1916 era. The bat might have had a decal on the barrel, and the price on a decal bat relies mainly on the condition of the decal. Because you thought the bat reads "Lerich & Bradsby" the bat might be in bad condition, and the decal might be totally worn off. Condition is important and if this is the case it will only sell at about 25% of the $200.-$275. price that the bat might be worth, if it had a full decal. The #12 bat I mentioned above sold for $200. with 70% of the original decal intact. Either way it sounds like you have a nice 1916/1920s era store model bat.

What is the value of a louisville slugger bat made by J.F. Hillrich sons stamped with a patent number 0716541?
Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Louisville Slugger has used different oval center brands in their history. By identifying the center label, trade marks, and patens you can narrow down the year to what era the bat was made. The earliest Louisville Slugger bats have J.F. Hillerich & son, "Made By" and "TRADE MARK" stamped on them and the second issue had the word "Co." added (after Son) and "TRADE MARK" was replaced with "TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF" in 1911. You have a first era bat from the 1897 - 1911 bat labeling period. The "patent number 0716541" could date the bat to the earliest of bats possibly before the days of player endorsements. In 1905 Honus Wagner, a star for the Pittsburgh Pirates, signed a contract with Hillerich & Bradsby co. and became the first player ever to endorse a bat. His autograph was also the first to be used on a bat and the first known professional athlete endorsement of a retail product. The bulk of the value on most collectible bats relies on the player that endorsed the bat. Because your bat was possibly made before player endorsements the value will rely on vintage bat features or the markings on the bat dating it to one of the earlier Hillerich & Bradsby Co. models. I would need more information on the bat to help you including all stamping on the bat type of knob, condition, and size. A vintage bat from this era in good condition could sell for at least $200. and up to $400.-$500. in excellent -near/mint condition.
