I was given a bat from my grandfather. The cork gripped bat has a Kork Grip patented Sep 15, 1914. The center oval has LOUISVILLE SLUGGER, 40 K, J.F. HILLERICH & SON Co, dash dot dash, LOUISVILLE, KY. TRADE MARK, ET Collins (cursive), REG.U.S.PAT.OFF. There is no number on the end of the knob of the handle. I believe it may be from 1915 from the articles that I have read. I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying exactly what I have. Thanks to anyone who can give me any information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You better look at this site.

It says patented. Any info would be greatly appreciated Matt.
Your dating of it is right. Its a good bat. Price depends a lot on length, weight and condition. Its rare nonetheless.
I have some kork grips pictured on my site.

Can you send a full length picture of the bat? Any cork left on the bat?
