"HIGHLANDER" bowling ball
« on: October 03, 2017, 11:28:34 PM »
Does anyone know about the "HIGHLANDER" bowling ball? It was a house ball they've let me borrow for now as its fingertip drill job fits my hand fairly well and I've got several consecutive strike and spare frames with it on old wood lanes. Originally I thought it was a ball from the 70s but upon closer inspection it seemed more like a rubber ball. It does have a different material inside you can see through the holes though. Maybe it's even older. I suspect some old guy left it on the rack years ago. Anyone remember this one? I may keep it around and have it redrilled or just find something new. Have yet to try it elsewhere

According to the Polyglot Rubber Trade Directory of the United States and Canada (1916), the "Highlander" brand is mentioned as a rubber product of the B.F. Goodrich Rubber Co. "Manhattan Rubber" is also in the book as a manufacturer. I can't find a shred more of information though I doubt this excellent ball is 100 years old.
