Vintage Mitchell & Ness MASTER Field Hockey Stick Wood 38" MADE IN ENGLAND IHB

Original Vintage Mitchell & Ness Field Hockey Stick This is an original, authentic vintage wooden field hockey stick by Mitchell & Ness, dating from the era (pre-1983) when the Philadelphia-based company was a major supplier of sporting goods equipment—long before they became primarily known for throwback jerseys and apparel. This is a rare piece of Mitchell & Ness history! Key Details & Markings • Brand: Mitchell & Ness Philadelphia, PA • Model: MASTER • Origin: Clearly marked "MADE IN ENGLAND" • Board Approved: Stamped with a guarantee of compliance with the "OFFICIAL TEST REQUIRED BY THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY BOARD (I.H.B.)". This confirms it was professional, match-grade equipment for the era. • Length: Marked "38" • Other Markings: "IMPROVED MODEL," "A BARRIER PRODUCT," and possible original handwritten initials "By M.B.B." This stick is in AUTHENTIC, USED VINTAGE CONDITION. It is not a modern reproduction. The wear reflects its age and use: • The original red lacquer/shellac on the handle is visibly cracked and peeling in several places (a clear sign of genuine age). • The original tape/grip is fraying and coming apart near the top, as expected with decades-old cloth wrapping. • The wood shows scuffs, marks, and patina consistent with use on the field. • Perfect for: Collectors of Mitchell & Ness memorabilia, vintage sports enthusiasts, or as rustic sports decor for a home, bar, or office.
