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.
