Vintage Wood 1935 N J Magnan SUPER DRIVER Tennis Racket Hapward Brothers

Antique old early wood wooden racquet from the Boston Providence area supplied to Hapward Brothers Tennis Shop in Bloomfield, NJ.  The shop is still in business today!

NOTE: Part of a group of 12 rackets fresh to the market. I have listed two rackets a day between June 16 - June 21.  Will combine items for much reduced postage for multiple purchases.

MODEL: 1935 N J Magnan SUPER DRIVER, North Attleboro Mass

HEAD: Classic period oval; stock is gently rounded throughout with two dark inlays for contrast; much less than expected wear to the top of the head

WARPING: none

FRAME: excellent solid condition; original finish on the shaft and most of the way around the head. 

THROAT WEDGE: laminated in place; concave in the style of the period

STRINGS: looks like original lamb gut as shown; red with a blue twist

BANDING: excellent; the ten original matching black-gold bands are intact

DECALS: As shown; excellent.

GRIP: 4 5/8 inches; original leather calf-skin perforated grip is completely intact with original whipping at the top… terrific

STAMPS: none

WEIGHT: weighs 12.8 ounces actual weight

END CAP: leather strip fully intact with almost no sign of wear as shown in the photo. The strip is a holdover in design from earlier rackets and was soon phased out as full leather grips became the style. End cap is a rare survivor as well and gorgeous as shown

Postage will be based on 3.5 pounds of packed weight.  International buyer: please wait for the invoice.  

International shipping: Approximately $45 for one racket; $4 for each additional racket in the same box.

Last racket in this collection will be listed on June 21.
