These two DAVIS Racquets, from the 1960's / 1970's, are part of a vast Collection of Antiqie & Vintage Wood Tennis Racquets that I have collected during my 40 yr. career as a Head Tennis Professional working at various Exclusive Clubs Resorts up & down the U.S. East Coast...Most of these Racquets I got at Estate Sales in the North East U.S.A.
Both Rqts are strung with the Original Strings of that era, the TAD Davis with Blue Spiral Nylon intact & the IMPERIAL DELUXE with VS Imperial Gut, 8 broken main strings, I HAVE INCLUDED AN ORIGINAL SET OF NEW IMPERIAL GUT FROM THAT ERA as a replacement for the strings in the Imperial Deluxe Rqt.
