I was driving back home after playing tennis one day and decided to stop by the Goodwill that's near the courts. I thought to check out the sporting goods section to see if they had anything cool.

I found this racket, which looked much different from any I have ever seen. A little Googling showed me that it was made by the TA Davis company in California in the 1930s or 1940s. It seems to be a very rare collectible wood racket.

The wood has been cut and sanded with care, leaving no rough edges. The grip was attached by hand using small nails. The racket showcases the natural beauty of the fine wood. When you swing this racket you feel the balance. It's a treasure.
