Gauthier Miss Go tennis racket with cover

This pretty Gauthier brand wooden racket with its charming colors will make a beautiful decorative object in a gym, a games room or in a sportsman's or sports room (since it would be a racket for girls.. . "miss go") but can also still be used in a vintage tournament because it is in good general condition, solid frame, string (in plastic, not gut) still well stretched. Gauthier rackets, manufactured in La Manche, in a factory that started in the 1920s, were internationally recognized for their quality in the 1970s, before the company went bankrupt in 1985. But the story does not stop not here ! In fact, the brand was relaunched in 2012! I'll let you discover the fascinating history of this brand on the web. This racket has a self-adhesive label on the handle which corresponds to the words on the “advertising” cover, a cover probably offered by the store where it was purchased: “sports and games” in salon-de-provence. It must date from the 70s and does not hide some signs of its age: marks and abrasions on the wood, grip around the handle worn and patched. It measures 68.5 cm in length, 23 cm in width.
