19th Century Bowling Pins w/ BB Players
Pardon my selfishness for not putting these in July pick-ups but I was hoping to get some feedback on these. I'd love to know if anyone has seen these before.
I found an old thread and saw the ornate pins and Brouthers/Clarkson ball; those are intense. I also matched them up to the graphics on the bowling pins in Mark Rucker's book and don't think they're the same graphics.
Also to note, the ones in his book are 8 or 9 inches high, these are 15. Crazy - now we may have three different 'sets' of bowling pins with baseball players graphics on them.
I expect to email Mark (is he on here?) and ask how he knows that the players on his pins are the HOFers he mentions? They always seemed kinda generic to me.
I am really happy to own these and thought I'd share them with the gang at my favorite forum. thanks for your thoughts. happy collecting.
