Antique tennis racket, from the research I have done it looks likely to be a British or French racket dating from 1880 to 1900 as the screw in the side and the type of manufacture suggest this period.Aldridge is scratched into the top handle section - I am assuming a previous owner's name. The gut is all in place and tightly strung and in strong condition.The bottom of the handle could do with re-binding, the wood which are several sections pushed together are starting to pull apart.If... an expert would like to comment on the type and age of this racket, please do. Total length 27 1/4 inchWidth at widest 8 1/2 inches.If you have any questions please ask.
