Description
Vintage pair of Ebonite lawn bowling balls/bowls in attractive red, cream and black marbled colors, complete with their period carrying bag.
The tag inside the bag is especially interesting. It reads “This Article Is Made of U.S. Naugahyde” and identifies Charles F. Clark, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. Naugahyde is the vintage vinyl upholstery material used to make the case—it is not the brand of the balls.
Details include: 2 Ebonite bowls, vintage red-and-black zippered Naugahyde carrying case, marbled finish, and original interior manufacturer/material tag. This is a pair only, not a complete modern bocce set, and no pallino/jack is included unless you have one separately.
These would appeal to collectors of vintage lawn bowling equipment, Ebonite sporting goods, mid-century sports items, or retro game-room décor.
