another H&B baseball bat, MICKEY MANTLE

Since markg posted his yesterday (then a couple more of y'all pointed out similar ebay ones) I thought I'd show mine, which is slightly different than any of them.

"H&B HILLERICH & BRADSBY CO. LOUISVILLE, KY. MADE IN U.S.A. J2" in the oval at its middle, "TRIPLE CROWN MICKEY MANTLE APPROVED LITTLE LEAGUE" at its business end. Measures 29" long.

If I remember correctly, this was probably purchased new in the early to mid 1970's.
