1936 Jimmie Foxx Louisville Slugger Game Used H&B Vault Marked Bat (MEARS A9)
Although manufactured during an 11-year period, we know this bat is from 1936 with a black grease pencil side written note of "Gerald Walker 10-19-36" on one side with "Gerald Walker 10-19-36 Detroit Amer League" on the other side. These notes were written by an employee of H&B when the bat was returned to them by Walker, who wanted to order this specific bat for his own use. Both the knob and top of the barrel have been stamped with “W36” indicating an internal H&B code for Walker and lathe turn number. The Red Sox played Detroit on Sept 15 and 16th, and considering the bat was sent to Louisville in October 1936, it is likely the bat was given to Walker during that series and used by Foxx until that time. While this bat was returned to H&B by Walker for similar examples for his personal use, this bat was owned and used by Jimmie Foxx, and used during his tremendous 1936 season. Full LOA for MEARS, graded A-9. Also, a FULL LOA from SCD Authentic (also signed by Troy Kinunen), and an original typed and signed letter from Michael Montbriand, a highly recognized long time game used bat collector who once owned this bat in his personal, private collection.
