This is the first time we have seen this unique baseball collectible. Faces and facsimile autographs of six HOFers can be seen. Different images and signatures appear depending on where the dial is turned.
Printing on the bats indicates that this was a furoku (appendix) from the July issue of Yakyu Shonen magazine. The HOFers shown are Tetsuharu Kawakami, Hiroshi Oshita, Makoto Kozuru, Michio Nishizawa, Fumio Fujimura and Hideo Fujimoto.
The bats are held together by a small piece of cloth that is most like not original to the item.
Size: 4 1/2" x 7 1/2"
Condition: Vg w/ staining.
