Only this week, someone sent me an ad for the Chesterfield racquets and in the fine print was a company I hadn’t even noticed before, owned by Best & Gee York St. Sydney. As half the battle is being a diligent P I, I jumped on the phone to a company which today is still owned by B&G.
Today the owner rang me and filled me in on some quick history about the company which startedin 1923 using Canadian Ash. It wound down in the mid 1970’s so the brand has enjoyed a great following in Australia. Learn more on the website www.tennishistory.com.au
Since the brand was Sydney based you will probably find more examples up there than in Melbourne. If you own a couple, please send down some pics. Product catalogues would be fantastic to help identify a models list.
