The Hanna Manufacturing Company is credited with making important improvements to the design of baseball bats. One of the great improvements came in 1933 with the introduction of the Hanna patented Batrite non-chipping treatment used on all bats. This treatment not only benefitted the batters who originally used the bats, but it also served to improve the overall quality of antique Hanna Columbia baseball bats on the market today.

Collectors probably won't find Hanna Columbia baseball bats with a lot of chips. What they might find are Hanna Columbia baseball bats with unusual stain finishes that increase the uniqueness and value of the bats. Hanna Columbia baseball bats in perfect or near perfect condition with a greenish finish can expect to sell for a respectable amount of green.
