Featured Scammell's Trenton China bullion bowl crossed squash/badminton rackets

I looked for this logo at the RestaurantWare collector's site & a Google search with no luck.

I also could not determine if the rackets are supposed to be for squash or badminton.

This bowl is 2 1/8" to the side edge & 3 3/4" across the top.

Any ideas as to what the R C stands for & possible age of this piece?



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!

 

IMO these are older squash racquets, can't help otherwise.

 

Racquet Club?????????? I know, that's a reach!!!! They look more like badminton racquets!

 

Thanks @Ce BCA & @Aquitaine!!

It may be hard to ever know for sure which sport these racquets are supposed to represent since the main difference between the 2 are that the one for squash is usually heavier.

 

Can't say for certain because of artistic licence but in general for older equipment: Squash racquets have thicker shafts that don't thin significantly from the handle and have rounder heads. Badminton racquets have to whip so the shaft thins significantly from the handle and the heads are slightly elongated (egg shaped).

 

DeBolt has this as a dating guide.

 

So leaning towards the rackets being for badminton.

Thanks @Ce BCA!!!

Thanks @say_it_slowly!!!

 

I wonder if its sort of a generic racket to cover a number of different racket sports.

 

it seems to lack the panache of a real club logo.... which I think would be more specific in the type of sport the Club offered....
