WHEW! Sometimes it's hard keeping a secret... actually it's ALWAYS hard to keep a secret... but I think I've done a good job with this one.


I have RUBBER BOWLING PINS!!   THEY ARE CAST FROM A VINTAGE LANE PIN FROM A LANE THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN PENNSYLVANIA... 


I've painted them.. and added something that I don't think has EVER been added to a rubber production item... a SEALED FLEXIBLE DECAL!!  The "bowling supplies" decal won't crack, or come off... it's sealed onto the latex in the gloss coating... 


The price is not cheap... but they're not cheap to make. They're thick so that they keep their shape, and The cost of latex recently went up 25%... and that's on top of a price increase 50% from about 10 years ago.. Blame it on rubber gloves being made for a rising medical system overseas.


At any rate.. they're good for productions.. or for the old bottle in the paper bag routine..  or whatever your imagination can come up with!!
