Bowling Trophy: Looking for Information

[cmoore330]

Thanks for all of the information guys! I would still love to figure where it originated, but I think I have hit a dead end.

To your request Carlton, I have taken some new pics and uploaded them here: http://www.collectorfocus.com/collec.../miscellaneous. You'll notice that one of them shows part of an original label that is on the bottom as well.

As for the size of the ball, it is roughly 5.5 - 5.75 inches wide (18 inches around). I guess my next move will be getting some silver wipes to clean it up. After that...who knows? My wife has taken a liking to it, so maybe it is time to collect trophies!

Lucky You! Now you can go and collect a whole room full of trophies. BTW - the more I see it, the more I like your Bowlong trophy. Thanks for the additional pics. My daughter is on her High School Bowling team (I was on mine too) and I have a Bowling trophy from 1924 with my name engraved on it - that's because I am named after my grandfather. And my dad bowled for Rutgers....must run in the family .

Casey - looking through some pics of the last National on Carlton's site, I noticed that Doug and Diane from Sport n Spool had a similar bowling trophy in their booth.
