This
is a Mickey Mantle Louisville Slugger 125 K55 Baseball Bat. This
Bat dates between 1961, and 1963. In 1964
REG US PAT OFF
was removed from under the center oval label, and the registered trademark
was
placed after Louisville Slugger. Also in 1961 the
"2" in 125 appears directly over the "&" in
the label. This professional Model Bat was issued at
Berkshire Christian College. Starting in 1943 to 1975
the model number of professional bats appeared on the
knob. This Bat has K55 on the knob. The K55 is
one of the more favored by collectors. Mickey Mantle used Models M110,
K55, and P72. A Baseball Bat from a more popular
College will sell for more money.
