The Brunswick Gold Crown Bowling Ball
Posted: July 27th, 2017, 4:16 am
I know this is not a ball that would be more than a spare ball in today's game, but once upon a time this ball was a main ball for strikes.
But its striking ability aside, this has got to be the most unique and beautiful bowling ball ever made.
I mean look at it, it is filled with real Gold flakes. Real Gold!
Back in the 60's when it was made, Gold was only $32 an ounce.
But today Gold is over $1000 and ounce.
A local pro shop had one on display and allowed me to take a pic of it which I have attached.
I want one of these real, real bad...
If I ever got one and had it drilled, the pro shop operator would have to capture the drilling dust so I could recover the gold from it!
Or he could keep the dust to pay for his services. Lol.
Here is a match where Don Carter is using it and the announcer talks about it at 5:09
