H&B made Louisville Slugger "Official Cork Ball" bats in the early 1950s. The bats were used to play "Corkball," a game that originally used a cork stopper from a beer keg wrapped with tape to about the size of a lemon, and a broom stick for a bat. It was usually played with just a pitcher, catcher and batter. If the batter swings and misses and the catcher caught the ball it was an out. If hit and not caught by the pitcher or catcher it was a hit. No base running was involved. All hits were singles and the players kept up with where the runners should be on the bases. Often, an area was designated as a home run area. Teams could be made up of two or more players. If more than three players were on a team, the 3rd player would be a fielder. The game was originated in St. Louis, MO, where it was often played in the street and also in cages adjacent to taverns, but became popular throughout the country and is now played in parks and school yards. In addition to the Louisville Slugger bat, an "Official Cork Ball" was produced by Rawlings, and was apparently a small version of its baseballs. Currently the owner manufacturer of corkball equipment is the Markwort Sporting Goods company of St. Louis, MO.

Can you help me with estimate value for hillerich bradsby 34 Babe Ruth bat 40k kork grip?
The cork grip models as they were introduced in 1915 and were the most expensive bat made. There is recorded informatin that some ball players have used them in major league games, including Babe Ruth. In general a Babe Ruth store model bat could be worth between $200. -$500. Besides condition there are many factors that will effect the price more or less. Baseball bats closest to the players size and model number that was used during his playing days will sell at a higher price. Decal bats are very desirable and could sell in the $1,000.'sThe dating of the bat is one of the most important factors on value along with condition. 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.For example: a bat made between 1916 - 1929 will have HILLERERICH & BRADSBY Co in the center label as opposed to J.F. HILLERERICH & SON Co as the bats made before. TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF appears below the oval and changed to TRADE MARK REG in 1930."Bone Rubbed" is a process to harden the surface of the bat and appears on bats made in the 1920s The "Powerized"process was first used, and patented by the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. in 1931 and has pat. pending beneath the stamp. Powerized and Bone Rubbed" logo is used during the 1932 season. In 1933 and 1934 you will see it stamped "Powerized and Oil Tempered" which usually is a very light heat foil type print. in 1935 until present, they go with just "Powerized"During the 1980's Louisville Slugger issued these replicas of Babe Ruth's last style bat, and stamped 1935 on the knob. The majority of these were sold through a mail order company called J. Petterman and listed at around $100. Yes. The same J. Petterman catalogue featured on the television comedy series Seinfeld.
