These commemorative bats are referred to as "Black Bats" and have been produced by batmaker Hillerich & Bradsy (makers of the "Louisville Slugger") to honor each season's American and National League champions since 1934. They were made in relatively large quantities and presented to players and team personel, as well as league officials and VIPs. Ironically, bats made in the last ten years are worth more than those produced decades ago, as H&B cut down the quantities distributed significantly in the early 90's due to the expense. Yours is one of the better bats and its value is truly a function of its overall condition, with a safe appraisal being $400-750. Bats surviving in Near Mint condition would warrant the top value and possibly more.
The bat you have is referred to as a World Series "Black Bat" They were given to participating players, and dignitaries from teams in the world series. They have facsimile signatures of the entire team in gold on a dark black ebony bat. Names in script for Hillerich & Bradsby endorsees and block letter for non endorsed players. "Black Bats" are highly sought after in excellent to near mint condition. Any grade lower will devalue the price considerably. A 1951 NY Giants "Black Bat" is worth about $750.-$1,000. The NY Yankees "Black Bat" the winners of the World Series that year is worth about $1,200.-$1,500.
