Hi Martin --

Here is the Clemente info you requested regarding
Model G105 bats 36 inches in length ordered between 1965 - 1968 :

MODEL G105 36 inches / 35 ounces:
1965 - 3 orders totaling 15 bats
1966 - None
1967 - 3 orders / 16 bats
1968 - 1 order / 1 bat

MODEL G105 36 inches / 36 ounces:
1965 - 2 orders / 7 bats
1966 - 5 orders / 31 bats
1967 - None
1968 - None

MODEL G105 36 inches / 37 ounces
1965 - None
1966 - 3 orders / 19 bats
1967 - 4 orders / 15 bats
1968 - 1 order / 6 bats

MODEL G105 36 inches / 38 ounces:
1965 - None
1966 - None
1967 - 3 orders / 7 bats

During the 1965-1968 time frame, Roberto Clemente used Model G105 and Model U1 in close to equal amounts, with only a few orders of Model O16 early in the period.

Good Luck in future collecting.

Wow - what took so long :-)

Thanks tremendously. Now all i have to do is get my bat weighed and then try to determine what it originally weighed, and i should be all set.

Thanks again.

To possibly narrow the time frame, check out the word "Powerized." If the "o" has a pronounced oblong shape, and the "d" has a loop extending upward at the end of the letter, the bat was manufactired between 1964 1/2 and 1966 during the time frame you are focusing on.

Good Luck

Mike
