1959 Tony Cuccinello professional model All-Star game bat

1959 Tony Cuccinello professional model All-Star game bat. Desirable bat issued to Cuccinello was a Coach for the American League team. Louisville Slugger 125 model bat with his facsimile signature in the barrel measures 34" long. Model number "C44" is factory stamped in the knob. Uncracked with some light use and minor surface wear including a handful of rack streaks. Interestingly, Cuccinello had played in the first All-Star Game ever organized, when he appeared on the National League roster in 1933. A "Chick Cucinnello" autograph on barrel appears to have been done by his wife. Some included correspondence relays that he will no longer be signing bats and a return postal receipt (dated 1995) bears the signature of Mrs. Cuccinello and it compares more favorably to the autograph on the offered bat than any example from Tony which we have seen. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX
