Item Type
Raw wood baseball bat barrel
Condition

Overall Assessment
This appears to be a signed vintage baseball bat featuring a clean signature resembling Joe DiMaggio. The biggest strength is the bold ink placement on the barrel, while the main concern is the lack of a branded bat model. The sensible next step is submitting it to PSA/DNA for physical review.
