I bet boy has also never seen a wooden baseball bat for he has always seen aluminum bats.

And DON’T look too closely at the strings, boy!

These are real weird

Might want to test that racket first. If it’s that old, the cat gut might be brittle.

LOL! When did they start? It’s more like when did they stop making them!

What’s old is new again! My son asked me recently if he could type one of his college papers on my grandparents’ 1930s era Royal typewriter.

My wooden racket is hung up on the garage wall as an antiquated sports item. In the winter, my cross country skis hang out with the other old wooden skis, wooden sleds and toboggans. They line the house next to the sidewalk as decorations.

Ah, that clears up my comment from yesterday.

I remember taking the steel tennis ball cans and making tennis ball cannons out of them.

I still have my first wooden Bancroft racket, but I don’t use it much anymore.

My first TWO rackets were made out of wood.
