How much is a Cracker Jack Bat worth?

Answer 1

H&B Craker Jack Baseball BatThe Craker Jack Baseball bats are commonly found on eBay selling for about $40.00 in excellent condition. Size and condition are important on putting a value on the bat. The Craker Jack was an inexpensive kids baseball bat carried for years in the Hillerich & Bradsy line of store model retail bats.

The Cracker Jack model has nothing to do with the caramel coated popcorn snack as some people believe. If anything the naming of the bat was a marketing ploy to sell bats off of the popularity of the snack.

The bats were being sold by H&B from about the 1920's through the 1950's, and maybe into the 1960's. More information would be needed on the markings on the bat to date your particular bat. I will leave a link below (Related Links) to help you date your baseball bat. It might be difficult to date the bat with the H&B label. The earlier H&B labels have a "question mark like" engraving on each side of the H&B logo.
