Pair of wooden bat-shaped miniature harmonicas dating to the 1927 season bearing the name of Babe Ruth. Believed to be 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. Stampped 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. Both appear in VG/EX condition with minor surface wear and a few areas of light scuffing. Two bats total.
