AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 5 authentic mid-century wooden tennis rackets, each named after Major winners and Grand Slam legends.
Rod Laver: 2 rackets, namely the Swinger (made by Donnay) and the YoungStar (made by Chemold, which was also used at the time by other top Australian tennis players, such as Tony Roche and Roy Emerson).
Laver is a Grand Slam winner, won 11 majors, and was world number 1 from 1965 to 1969.
Billie Jean King: the Personal (made by Bancroft, which was one of the largest tennis equipment manufacturers until 1972). She won 39 majors, including Wimbledon 6 times and the US Open 4 times.
Pancho Gonzales: 2 rackets, namely the Autograph and the Junior (both made by Spalding and very popular at the time with both top players and recreational tennis players). Pancho won the US Professional Championship 8 times and was Spalding's leading player.
This set of 5 rackets makes a fantastic eye-catching display piece for fans of vintage sports memorabilia, industrial interiors, or retro mid-century design. Also suitable as wall decor in a sports bar or clubhouse.
In good, used vintage condition, with a few signs of wear that add to their authentic character.
The strings on all 5 rackets are still intact, and the transfers bearing the tennis players' names, manufacturer, and model are clearly legible.
The rackets will be carefully packaged for shipping, and the photos form part of the description.
No shipping outside Europe.
Collection in Brussels or The Hague may be possible.
