Spalding Championship Wooden Tennis Racquet (Made in USA)

The Spalding Championship racquet hails from the 1950s–60s, an era when the American brand was at the forefront of tennis innovation. Spalding—founded in 1876—was among the first to mass-produce racquets that balanced quality and accessibility, helping bring tennis to a broader audience. This particular model, preserved in great condition, features its original leather grip still embossed with “Spalding” and retains its smooth varnish finish. It’s a fine example of mid-century design simplicity and remains a favorite among collectors of early postwar sporting goods.
