Vintage Multiple Club Tennis Racket Press.
A very good adjustable multiple lawn tennis racket press made to hold up to twelve rackets. The press is made of oak, in great condition, and with a good patina. The tennis rackets fit in-between the wooden dividers and are tightened with the cast iron fly wheel handle which holds the rackets in place to stop them from warping. The wooden block that houses the wheel mechanism has two holes in the ends that correspond with the drilled holes on the metal bar. This allows you to slide it up and down depending on how many rackets you are storing in the press. This racket press was probably made for a Tennis Club, Country House or school. The press is unbranded but believed to be of Alfred Adrien Tunmer design.
A.A. Tunmer & Co. was founded by the Englishman Alfred Adrian Tunmer, born on January 4, 1876 in Southampton, he owned a sporting goods store on rue du 4 Septembre in Paris which opened in 1898.
