When you pick this one up it just feels like the Iron Horse used it. An incredible piece of lumber, it is 36 inches long and weighs in at 40.2 ounces. This Hanna Batrite is as solid as the man himself. The wood is the best. On the barrel is “Georgia Driver-Gehirg Type-Steel Temper”. The centerbrand is a bat with “TA 116-Burke Batrite-Hanna Mfg. Co.-Athens GA.-Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” On the knob it is stamped 175 (the model number and in a different font stamping “41” (signifying the original weight in ounces). Great Gehrig gamer that is uncracked with light but definite use.
