The model 40 was the secondary line of autograph models offered by Louisville Slugger. The T.C. Following the number 40 stands for Ty Cobb. A Hillerich & Bradsby co. Ty Cobb Model 40 store model Baseball Bat from the labeling period 1916 -1929 is worth between $800 - $1,500. in excellent to near/mint condition.

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. Ty Cobb signed with the company in 1908.

Below I will leave a link to a Ty Cobb Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat from the 1916-1929 labeling period complete with price guide, and pictures. I will also leave a link to help date your Louisville Slugger Baseball bat.
