Balloon

©Copyright 1995 Racket Sports Heritage

This interesting game dates to 1889 and features a superb pair of cane rackets strung in spider-web style. The set is housed in a large finely crafted wood box, which includes various attachments used to form a large cane hoop atop a pole. The players used the rackets to strike a balloon back and forth through the hoop. Rare.
