Grouping of wooden bat-shaped miniature harmonicas dating to the 1927 season bearing the name of Babe Ruth. Believed to have been sold at Yankee Stadium during the 1927 World Series the bats were created by F.A. Rauner of Klingethal Germany and measure approximately 3 7/8" in length. Stamped on the barrel is "Babe's Musical Bat " with the interior containing a functioning five-hole harmonica. The bats are quite desirable today and not easy to find. Each appears in VG/EX to EX condition with very minor surface wear and a few areas of light scuffing here and there. The largest grouping of these interesting souvenirs we have ever seen offered. Five bats total.
