FAQs

Developed during the 1930s, the streamline triple shaft tennis racket was an aerodynamic frame innovation designed to reduce air resistance and improve structural flexibility during play.

Rackets from this period were built using laminated hardwoods such as ash, hickory, or walnut, fitted with leather handle grips, gut stringing, and secured in wooden presses with steel fittings.

Authentic 1930s rackets feature maker decals or hot-stamped logos near the throat, multi-ply bentwood rim construction, period-correct stringing, and wear on the leather wrapping.

An antique tennis racket can be displayed mounted on a feature wall, placed standing upright within a bookshelf, or arranged alongside other vintage sporting items in a cabinet.

Keep the frame stored flat inside its wooden press to prevent tension warping, avoid exposure to excess moisture or heat sources, and wipe timber components with a dry microfibre cloth.
