Up for sale is a classic piece of premium sporting memorabilia: an original vintage Dunlop "Maxply Fort" wooden badminton racket complete with its genuine matching Dunlop wooden frame press. Made in England.

The Maxply Fort is a legendary model, highly sought after by vintage sports equipment collectors due to its premium laminated multi-ply construction and historic pedigree.

CONDITION NOTE:

The item has been pulled directly out of a long-term storage unit clearout and is in good vintage display condition. The iconic "Maxply Dunlop" and "Fort" decals remain beautifully intact and legible at the throat. The laminated wood frame remains structurally straight, protected over the years by the matching wooden press. The original stringing is entirely intact without any splits or snaps.

The original towel grip wrap shows heavy coloration, aging, and fluffiness from storage. The wood surfaces and metal components show normal vintage patina, storage dust, and minor surface wear as pictured. It has been left completely uncleaned to preserve its authentic retro character. The spring-loaded clamp bars on the press function perfectly.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

- 1x Vintage Dunlop Maxply Fort Badminton Racket

- 1x Original Dunlop Wooden Racket Press / Clamp

Perfect for historic sports collectors, dark academia styling, or vintage room display. Fast shipping via tracked courier or local collection from Norwich can be arranged.
