This is a very cool Billy Jean King collectable. This is a Custom Designed By Bancroft size 4 1/4 wooden tennis racquet, which also includes the wooded screw down head protector. The racquet is beautiful and is made from Genuine Bamboo laminated frame. It is in amazing shape with very little wear. I am not sure but it looks like it may have never been used. The reason I say this is the end of the racquet head doesn't have any scratches. That is just about impossible to not have scratches on a wooden racquet unless you are pro tennis player. I know because in the day back when I played tennis it was hard not to scratch. In addition it still has the original factory strings with the "B" painted on it. I did notice that the end of the racquet handle has a small crack see photos 7 & 8 that could be replaced easily but to me no big deal because this should be a vintage collectable not one to play with. In fact this would be beautiful framed. It also has a small separation on the leather grip see photo 9 .It also has one place where the I call it the ribbon but is probably a better for which I don't know see photo 12. Overall this is one that that you don't want to miss on because you will have a very hard time finding one nicer than this. If you decide after you buy it you don't want the wooden head protector me know and I won't ship it.IWH
