Mickey Mantle game used bats are a treasured piece of sports memorabilia. Offered here is a very rare broken chunk of a game used Mickey Mantle bat. Having seen better days, all that remains of this 1950s era Hillerich & Bradsby Mickey Mantle signature model bat is a 22-inch upper half of the barrel. With the handle completely missing, there is no way to determine the exact year of this bat, but the game experts at Mears have determined that this barrel was part of Mantle’s bat used in the 1950s. Aside from the obvious missing pieces, that shows other evidence of extreme use with an approximately nine-inch crack from the beginning of the broken handle running up the barrel. There are numerous abrasions and scuff marks throughout. This item comes with a LOA from Mears.
