Hi there!
I have TWO beautiful vintage bowling balls. If you aren\'t already aware, bowling is a sport for the ages, thought to have originated in ancient Egypt. Though bowling has been enjoyed for thousands of years, the version of the game we know today is only about 100 years old. As bowling became more popular over time, bowling equipment makers began to create balls from hard wood like lignum vitae (aka ironwood). In the early 1900s, manufacturers took the design to the next level and began fabricating bowling balls made from hard rubber.
These are two lignum vitae bowling balls with two finger holes. Each has a serial number that is visible if you look close enough.
First ball: A1038 Weight:10lbs. 5oz.
Second ball: A1315 Weight: 11lbs. 8oz.
Made: 1800\'s
