DANG. The posting expired. Maybe next time, you could take an "Image Capture" of the picture, or download it to your desktop so you can post the image on our board... :)

Can do. This particular one was an adjustable model with a wooden drum, not plywood or particle board. It had bracing angled to the front of the drum. Looked sturdy and old.

Looked like a Wilson from the late 1940's. I'd would assume that if it was it was their Professional model, as they were selling the rebound rings through sporting goods and department stores at that time.Yes, you could go into any major department store in most larger cities and it would have a pretty complete sporting goods dept. This was the case up untill the mid 1960's in most places.
