Maybe this advertising padlock is an example of his poor business marketing skills. Though it is more interesting than a trade card. If it's genuine that winner got a great deal, as it's the only example I've seen.

Assuming it's period, maybe someone gave it to him as a gift. It's kind of cool.

Quite possibly it was created for & used on rental lockers in his bowling & billiard parlor.

That's what I was thinking Fred. It's a very cool item and someone IMO got a heck of a deal...I would bet in an REA type auction it would bring many multiples of that final ebay price.

Anson bowling
Cap Anson was a pretty good bowler and actually won the ABC (American Bowling Congress) Team title in 1904 at the age of 43. I wish I would have seen this item, as a collector bowling memorabilia, I would have like to have added it to my collection.

I bought this inkwell several years back partly for it's resemblence to Anson. I didn't know about him bowling until this thread. I wonder if it is him?
