There is no more fragile item in this hobby than a decal bat. Sold primarily about 100 years ago, these bats were made for display, but many eventually became children's "toys" and were used to bat the ball, whack the door and even smack the sibling. In any event, most of these painted decals lost their images along the way, as fragility and children's expressive nature usually do not go hand in hand. This offered Joe Jackson decal bat measures 14 inches in length, is branded, "Louisville Slugger Hillerich & Bradsby Co" with "0JJ" within the label. This item has tremendous eye appeal and despite a few light scratches and abrasions on the barrel, the decal remains solidly intact. Jackson's facsimile signature at the bottom of the decal is 100% intact. This is one exceptional mini decal bat, one of the finest Jackson decal bats in existence.
