Arthur Ashe owned proprietary tennis racket made into a clock. AMF Head brand racket features Ashe's name and ''Competition 2 / Boron Flex'' along the sides. Racket has been transformed into a homemade timepiece featuring a partial tennis ball at the center. This was likely a gift to Ashe, or a prototype for an upstart business; a sticker to verso reads, ''John M. Phelps Sr. / Tennis Time / 132 Cowberry Lane / Milford, PA...'' Ashe reportedly liked the racquet-clock and kept it. Measures 9'' across and 27'' in length. Racket has timepiece and homemade labels added, else near fine. With an LOA from Arthur Ashe's widow.
