Quoted from stashyboy:King Pin is on my wish list with 4 of them.
My Palooka has the red enamel/white lettered cast metal bats. Very nice example aquired from JTAmuse a few years ago. I suspect it had minimal play and was not abused. Had an old military base label on it when it reached me. I have a set of bats from a Wing Ding parted out that are polished cast alloy, or maybe chromed? You be the judge..

Could be they began life as polished alloy and were painted/powder coated red as an option to suit another model perhaps. See picture of a Palooka I recently overhauled where its red bats show the alloy? underneath. Great playing machine too, I really enjoyed doing this one. And yes, I did adjust the bats to line up correctly
