Dunno... am I Dan Brouthers' keeper?
     Left to right: image from k-j's bowling ball; illustration from The Champion Game of Base Ball (A S Schutz, 1889); photo from Alpha Engraving card, 1894 (image cropped and reversed); photo from N300 Mayo, 1895 (image cropped and reversed). You be the ol' judge. For folk-art, looks close enough for us...

Educated guess
Just a good educated guess here, but I would believe these to be two seperate items that don't even belong together. The ball would NOT be used with the pins to roll and knock them down. That wouldn't make sense. Those beautifully engraved medallions would get dented every time they struck the pins. No way! Also, the pins would be all chipped up and damaged on there surfaces from those medallions of metal hitting into them, yet neither has much, if any wear. That ball wouldn't even roll very straight with those on it. I would think the ball is something very special, even more so then the game pins, like a commemorative or trophy game ball, or who knows what. It is way too fancy also for a child's game item. What do others have to say?

We'd say those are all excellent points.
Additionally, the pins seem almost too finely crafted to have been intended for use in a collision game and appear more like decorative objects...
