Three boxed table tennis sets, i) GAMAGE'S TABLE TENNIS, retailed by A.W. Gamage of London, with a pair of heavy wooden bats (by Jaques), very good quality net and posts (all 3 items marked A.W. Gamage, but the posts apparently supplied by Jaques), the Rules and Directions show that service was direct over the net and tennis scoring was used so this is an early set, box in need of restoration ii) PING PONG, by S & B, Paris, circa 1910, in large wooden box with sliding lid, with a pair of strung racquets, stringing poor, wooden folding net assembly, 'tennis' net and 4 balls, the rules in French and English show direct service and 'tennis' scoring iii) THE GAME OF TABLE TENNIS, by Williams & Co., Maison de Jeux Athletiques, Paris, circa 1910, with a pair of vellum battledores, about 38cm. in length, pair of 'ribbed' wooden bats, 'tennis' nets, unusual all-wood posts and three old balls, the rules of the games in French and English show direct service and 'tennis' scoring, the outside title is very faded but the interior illustration is very fine
