I don't collect bats but I came across this at a local flea market and though it was pretty neat so I picked it up. Number 33 on the knob along with what looks to be a "w". Looks like a Stan the man logo, and looks like first name of Robinson. Thanks for the help. cubbs1232@msn.com

The 33 stamped into the knob is probably the length - you can check this by measuring. If that's so, it's too short to be a professional model. That means it's a store, or retail, bat.

It looks like it says "Robinson Type" on the barrel. That probably dates it to the 1950s, since that was when both Jackie Robinson and Stan Musial were in their prime (as players and as marketing endorsements.)

I'm no expert but those are my observations.
