Eddie was a NL all star in 1961 and 1962 and had his career high BA in 1961. This bat was found in Wisconsin close to County Stadium where the bat was used by Eddie.
The bat shows great game use with ball marks, cleat marks and a crack. The crack runs from the upper handle to above and below the H&B label. It is approx 11"-12" long but is very tight so it is difficult to measure.
I note 1 tiny finishing nail at the peak of the crack. There was tape on the handle so the handle is lighter than the rest of the bat. There is slight raised grain on the barrel and wear to the finish but the bat displays beautifully.

Please see all the photos. Note the back of the barrel has some tape residue which I believe the owner had noted info on the bat. It could easily be removed. The bat is a S2 and is 35 in length.

I weighed the bat on a food scale and it weighed more than 30 oz but less than 31 oz. In checking many sites and auctions, 1-2 oz of weight loss for old bats is common. This bat fits right in the proper Mathews game used circle given its garage storage.

No one wants mint game used bats. This one is perfect for the serious collector. This would be a great xmas gift for the high end bat collector. The item "1961-64 Eddie Mathews Vintage Game Used H&B S2 Baseball Bat 35 Milwaukee Braves" is in sale since Tuesday, November 14, 2017.
