US stamped Baseball Bat to ID

[mb399579]

Hello,

I've found this baseball lat in a flea market in France yesterday. The lenght is 86,6 cm (around 34 inches)

It is stamped "US" with 2 words that I didn't succeed to read. I didn't find other marking.

Could you please help me to date it ? 

Thanks.

IIRC the base knob helps date it to late 1930s- 1940s construction

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by "IIRC" ? I'm sorry I'm French...

Is it possible to determine the words under the US stamped ?

Regards
