What is the value of a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger bat with decal?

∙ 15y ago
Depending on the Size, age, model, and condition a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger Decal Bat from the 1905 -1916 era is worth about $1,000. -$5,000. Condition is not the only important with decal bats, it is everything.
The decals are fairly common in beat up condition, and could sell as low as $75.-$100. I have seen a Honus Wagner Decal bat (Youth Model) in decent condition with 85% of the decal sell for $1,800. on eBay. They are rarely found in near mint condition, and a full size decal bat in this condition generally sell in excess of $5000.
The age of the bat is important and I will leave a link below to assist you in dating the bat. If the center label reads JF Hillerich & Son Co. and TRADE MARK under the oval it dates the bat between 1897 - 1911. If it reads TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF below the label 1911 -1916. However the bat cannot be dated before 1905.
In 1905 Honus Wagner, signed a contract with Hillerich & Bradsby co. and became the first player ever to endorse a bat. His autograph was also the first to be used on a bat and the first known professional athlete endorsement of a retail product.
For more information on vintage Baseball bats see Related Links below. I have also added a picture of the decal.

What is the signature on a Hillerich and Bradsby Louisville Slugger number 40 bat?
Louisville Slugger 40 ModelThe model 40 was a secondary line of autograph models offered by Louisville Slugger, and was a very popular model from the 1916 -1929 era. If you have a 40 model it might have the initials of the player following the number 40. For example a 40 B.R. would be a Babe Ruth bat. If the bat is in bad condition it is possible that the signature wore off. It will then have very little collectors value. This bat could have also been a decal bat, and it wore off. The decal would have been on the barrel, and this would also explain why you can't find the signature. With decal bats the bulk of the value relies on the condition of the decal, and again if the decal has worn off would have very little collectors value.
What does a 40 br louisville bat mean when it has a 36 on the bottom?
Louisville Slugger 40BR Babe Ruth decal batThe Louisville Slugger bat you have 40B.R. would be a A Babe Ruth (B.R.) model. The designation 40 BR was a secondary line of retail store model bats but some were made with a decal on the barrel and you did not mention this, nor did you mention his name being on the barrel if you had a signature model bat. Because you did not mention that the bat has anything on the barrel I believe you have a decal bat without the decal, which has worn away.With a decal bat the bulk of the value will rely on the condition of the decal and the percentage that is left. A bat with 80-90 percent of the decal could sell in the $1,000. price range and upwards to the $4,000. range. Without the decal it will have a very low value. Maybe in the $50. price range. The decal is everything. The 36 on the knob indicates that the bat measures 36 inches.

(in the center label) JD for Joe DiMaggio, but I'm not sure if a 40 model was made for DiMaggio. The bat you have might be in bad shape and the 4D might be 40, and if the bat is in bad shape it might have had a decal on the barrel.
