Antique Tennis Racquets

[Flying10uk]

I have this pair of antique tennis racquets that are thought to be around 100 years old. The first one is by G. G. Bussey and is the Prince model while the 2nd appears to be labeled as the Shamrock.

My knowledge of tennis and tennis racquets is just about zero and so I was wondering if there is anyone here who knows anything about them, please, specifically, their desirability and any idea of the value.

I have looked on line and while there are many old tennis racquets offered for sale the price does appear to vary greatly.

Many thanks for any replies and advice.
