Tennis Racquet

Object detail

Accession number

2010.557

Description

A wooden tennis racquet, size 14. The three ridges carved into the handle suggest that there was never a fabric grip on this racquet. There is a leather band nailed on at the bottom of the handle which supports a red fabric which covers the base. The writing could possibly identify this as a "Matchless" brand racquet.
