Ok that thing is a bit before my time by a few decades. I have no idea. Probably something from the 1910s-20s.

It`s difficult to pin down precisisly unless you can find a makers or model name to help trace details.
It could be anywhere between early 1900s through to about the mid 1930`s when better adhesives were available and the need for a screw to secure the hoop to the main shaft died out.
It``s possible that it was made as a one of by an amateur carpenter or a small company (there were many dozens -if not hundreds in England during that period )
It`s unlikely to be of much financial value as an unfinished blank unless you can find a collectable makers mark.

Just basic pictures of the racquet, like close to the throat and one on the bottom of the handle. Trying to see if I can find any maker marks. Different throat structures signify age.

Also, anything on the side handle? Like weight, maker name or grip size?
