The "125" refers to the grade of wood used to make the bat. "125" is the highest grade and is reserved for all pro level bats. The "125" bats are also used for the highest quality store model bats.

The 125 is not the Model number. Louisville slugger began using model numbers on the knob in 1943 then moving the model number to the barrel in 1977.

Flame Tempered is a process of drying and hardening the wood with lower grade Baseball bats. If your bat reads "Flame tempered it is a store model bat. "Powerized" is used on higher grade bats, and professional models. "Bone Rubbed"the same process for hardening the wood appears on bats made in the 1920s

The "125" refers to the grade of wood used to make the bat. "125" is the highest grade and is reserved for all pro level bats. The "125" bats are also used for the highest quality store model bats. The "Y" after 125 would most likely be an indication that it is a Youth model bat.

The bulk of the value will rely on the age of the bat, size, condition, and if the bat is endorsed by a ballplayer. Without a player endorsement it will have a low collectors value. If the bat is a youth model it should be about 30-32 inches in length. Larger than a Little League bat, but smaller than a full length adult size bat. To help you date the bat I will leave a link below. (Related Links)

125W Louisville Slugger baseball BatThe "125" refers to the grade of wood used to make the bat. "125" is the highest grade and is reserved for all pro level bats. The "125" bats are also used for the highest quality store model bats. Sometimes they will put the initials of the player that endorsed the bat after the "125" for example 125BR would be a Babe Ruth bat but I believe that the "125W" is a softball model bat, and I do not know exactly what the "W" stands for.
