Vintage Tennis Racket, Birmal All Metal Racket.
An unusual Birmal all metal lawn tennis racket made by the Birmingham Aluminium casting Co. The racket has an aluminium frame with original metal strings. This racket has a different throat design to the normal 'Birmal' rackets I have seen in the past, see images. The whipped handle has had some attention but does retain the majority of the original red and black cord.
All in very good original condition.
Birmingham Aluminium Casting (1903) Co. Ltd. (known as Birmal) grew out of the bicycle boom in the late 1890's. Aluminium was only just being recognised as a manufacturing material with Birmal being an early pioneer. By the late 1930's they supplied aluminium alloy to those who required it, especially the aircraft and automobile industries.
