What is the signature on a Hillerich and Bradsby Louisville Slugger number 40 bat?
Louisville Slugger 40 ModelThe model 40 was a secondary line of autograph models offered by Louisville Slugger, and was a very popular model from the 1916 -1929 era. If you have a 40 model it might have the initials of the player following the number 40. For example a 40 B.R. would be a Babe Ruth bat. If the bat is in bad condition it is possible that the signature wore off. It will then have very little collectors value. This bat could have also been a decal bat, and it wore off. The decal would have been on the barrel, and this would also explain why you can't find the signature. With decal bats the bulk of the value relies on the condition of the decal, and again if the decal has worn off would have very little collectors value.

The bat you have might be in bad shape and the 4D might be 40, and if the bat is in bad shape it might have had a decal on the barrel.
