Red Hammer with "R"
« on: October 21, 2016, 06:42:52 AM »
At the beginning welcome all
I am Polish, my passion is bowling :) definitely like everyone here :)
I bought today at auction old Hammer ball with the letter R and is new :)
I love everything old is why I bought it :).
I found the information here http://123bowl.com/bowling-balls/faball/red-reactive-hammer/
Are there any other information on it?
I will be grateful for the info
Regards
Szatkowsky from Poland :)

That was one of the first reactive resin bowling balls made by Faball (Hammer). I'm pretty sure it had a basic lightbulb core, but I'm not 100% on that; nevertheless, on today's conditions, it's likely to be a ball for shorter and/or lighter oil conditions. If you didn't pay an arm and a leg for it, I think it's a neat find.

You said it was a brand new ball? If so, $25 is a steal just for the nostalgia factor alone!

It was not stolen :). the man who sold it bought on sale old things from home in the Netherlands. something like a garage sale in the USA.

I didn't mean that you actually stole it. I just meant that it was a terrific price. lol
