It features a white shaft, Speed Hawk markings on the throat, a hawk graphic beneath the name, a worn crest on the reverse side, and red, white, and black striping at the lower portion of the head.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Speed Hawk appears to have been produced by N.J. Magnan Corp., a racquet maker based in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. While the exact catalog history of this model is difficult to trace, racquets like this represent the period when wood was the standard material for tennis equipment and painted shafts, colorful striping, and distinctive throat graphics gave even recreational frames a recognizable identity. With its strong period styling and decorative appeal, this racquet works well as a collectible and as a display piece for a study, office, or tennis-inspired interior. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout N.J.

Magnan Corp. was a tennis racquet manufacturer based in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, and appears to have produced a range of wooden racquets during the early-to-mid 20th century. Surviving examples in museum collections show the company making multiple branded models from at least the 1920s through the 1940s, reflecting the era when American wooden racquet makers served both serious players and the broader recreational market. Though the company is not as widely documented today as larger tennis brands, Magnan racquets remain part of the history of early American tennis equipment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eN.J.
