Default super looking

depictions of bowling in it's early days are far and few between and that sculpture is masterfully done with a fantastic look. Rather than do what I should be doing - here are 2 intersting bowling items for them what likes the sport of keggling. I suppose the word is a bit archane as today to keggle is I believe to expand and contract the vaginal muscles to strengthen them:-) 1800's caddy label and a super mounted photograph of what may be a bowling team associated with the building in the background. I bought it for the "Dutch Masters" painting on the side, the wheels, and the fantastic circular windshield.

Forgot to add that the quality of your research and passion which you exhibit for your stuff is amazing. Many of your post re-invigorate my own pursuits and I thank you for that. Unfortunately that enthusiasm has me posting more and listening less - it's just that I don't have other avenues or places I can go where people want to discuss the vagueries, beauty, and history of the collectibles I find so fascinating.

Remembered this interesting vesta I have - early thermoplastic with graphics and advertising for Brunswick Balke Collender company. Most often associated with pool and billiards - features a bowling image along with their signature balls/cues.
