The top of your head must be a very interesting place ;)
I didn't know Willie Bungert had a racket line.

He had woodies made by Snauwaert and later some nice graphites.
I have a few GrapHit rackets, nice transparent dark caramel finish with gold pinstripe.
Check out this link:http://vintagetennisgems.nl/VTG/Rackets_by_brands/Paginas/Miscelanious_1.html
Many more lesser known brands are mentioned here such as: Bertone by Technort, Galaxy, Sebastian, Cresta, Balzer, Neoxx Carving and Erbacher.
Then there is Adam (PCS), Aequalis, BBC, CANDO, Condor, Scepter,Erge, Fansteel......Do I have to go on?:)

A couple of people expressed surprise at the number of different manufacturers, that are represented in my racquet collection, so I thought I'd post a list.

I thought it was around 85, but it turns out to be 93! Should I aim for a nice round hundred? Does anyone have one not in this list?

Nobody mentioned Gosen in this thread...they picked-up from Yamaha when they were forced to leave the tennis market. Being a HUGE fan of the legendary Yamaha Secret-04, I had hoped Gosen could stay in the racquet biz. Yamaha/Gosen frames from the 80's & 90's were some of the best made ever.
