Description Brand: Wright-Ditson Grip Size: 4 5/8" Model: All American Type: Vintage Tennis Racket Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Offered is this vintage "All American" model open throat design wooden tennis racket, made by Wright-Ditson. The racket has a patent number of 1664466; research finds that this patent was granted on April 3, 1928, so I'm assuming the racket dates to the late 1920s-early 1930s. I measure the grip size to be 4 5/8". The handle looks like it is leather-wrapped but it may only be vinyl. It is in good condition for its age. The grip wrapping is tight, as are the strings, although some of the strings are fraying. Much of the varnish and paint remains, but there are many worn and scuffed areas. There are some lines on the surface of some of the decals and on the wood itself where the racket meets the neck on one side.Please take a moment to look at the other items in my eBay store
