Some of Anson's few successful ventures were a combination billiards hall and a bowling alley he opened in downtown Chicago in 1899.
Anson was named vice-president of the American Bowling Congress in 1903, and led a team to the five-man national championship in 1904
Clint, Hey that's a great inkwell...darn you just never know what you're gonna see on here...keep me posted if you want to move that!....I had another bowling inkwell once, see below with some of my other bowling pieces
