Default FS: Antique Tennis Items 1890-1930

A few nice antique/vintage tennis items for sale. All prices include shipping in the United States. Payment by PayPal, check or money order. Please email or PM me if interested.

1. Chromolithograph of Godfree after a drawing by Helen Wills. This piece measures 6" x 9". Depicts Kitty Godfree as drawn by Helen Wills. I believe this is from the 1920s before she married Moody and took his name. Have a look at this Christie's auction where a lot of 2 of these was sold:
