A fine 'Birmal' all metal lawn tennis racket made by the Birmingham Aluminium Casting Co. The racket has the original metal strings, the aluminium frame has the Regd No.693327 on the throat and 'pat. pending 183273-26885/22' on the inside of the handle, the frame is also embossed with "Birmingham Aluminium Casting (1903) Co.

By the late 1930's they supplied aluminum alloy to those who required it, especially the aircraft and automobile industries.
