THE ANCIENT Slazenger (1885-1925)

SLAZENGER is a mythical name in the world of tennis. Being one of the first brands in the commercialization of rackets that remains to this day and being the one used by most players who won Wimbledon in the 60s and 70s. 

Founded in 1877 by the brothers Albert, Horatio and Ralf Slazenger, the first models appear under various brand names “SLAZENGER”, “SLAZENGER & SONS” and “SLAZENGERS”. Some have the manufacturing location “LAURENCE POUNTNEY HILL. LONDON”

Slazenger (1930-1980)

During that time the Slazenger brand sold many rackets. We emphasize the one designed by Fred Perry and Dan Maskell. On this racket there are different marks that indicate where the corner between the thumb and index finger should go, to perform the different shots (drive, serve and backhand), while it has printed the basic tips for tennis. An explanatory booklet was published in parallel, as a complement to the racket.

DUNLOP

Dunlop Rubber Company Ltd. was founded in 1889 by a Scottish veterinary surgeon named John Boyd Dunlop (1840-1921). Initially dedicating itself to the manufacture of bicycle tires, it produced the first tennis racket in 1917, but it was in 1931 that it commercialized its most emblematic racket, the “Maxply”.
