A Nice example of an early 20th century American racket.

An early Dayton model, the racket has its original patented twisted wire string bed with double mains. One of the crosses are broken &

Two of the main strings reflect a unique make shift repair, exemplifying “ Yankee Thrift”

A great starter racket for the metal racket category in a collection

The decal is 90% intact.

The butt cap is intact, however the cover is not. The wood & plug are exposed.

The racket has its share of bumps & bruises, but not bad for one of the first models.
