Walter Bentley Lawn Tennis Racket with unusual Fantail.
A good Canadian tennis racket with a very unusual square bulbous fantail. The racket was made by 'The Walter Bentley Co. Ltd. at Niagara Falls. It has a concave wedge with the Bentley trade logo (a dog carrying a racket in it's mouth, within a triangle). This would be a good addition to any collection.
Bentley's opened for business in 1907 at Niagara Falls, Canada, and focused mainly on making tennis rackets and cricket equipment. It was thought that Bentley tennis rackets were the best in North America.
