Okay, so I have this room in the house that I want to set up in a bowling theme. Where can I find bowling pictures, memorabilia, and the like? If you know of any places or have any ideas for the room, please post here!

If you can afford it, buy one of the masking units from the ABC 100th in Knoxville. It'd be a great anchor piece around which you could decorate with a lot of smaller bits of memorabilia. There are still several for sale on the bowl.com website.

I wonder what the New Bowling Pin I have autographed is worth!! The signatures on it are:

Parker Bohn Jr.
Walter Ray
Steve Neff
Brian Voss
Johnny Petraglia
Danny Weismann
Jason Couch
Norm Duke

I might be willing to part with it for the right price, but it is just a consideration at this point.

How much do you think you want for that pin Saw Mill?

Not sure if I am going to get rid of it, but I might consider it if the offer was right enough. I am not positive what something like that would go for, but I am sure that out of a shop would be more costly than person-to-person. Decide what it is worth to you, and I might consider it; afterall, an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, regardless of the sticker price is.

Debina,
Do you have a link to where they are selling the masking units?

Also - I just found a bud light bowling sign at an antique store.

I'm planning on putting a piece of black velvet or something on the wall, and pinning patches and pins to it. I have awards of mine and my folks going back over 50 years.

I have a window top treatment made out of bowling fabric.

I've been planning this room for a couple of years, and my son is FINALLY moving out in the next week or two.

I was also thinking about finding some bowling alley carpeting, and getting it bound in a room size piece for the floor. Opinions???

Every year at the Susan G. Komen Foundation bowl for the cure in Dallas they have a silent auction. Last year I picked up a Walter Ray Williams Jr. autographed Hammer ball and towel for $35 and the year before I bought a Kim Terrell autographed shirt and poster for $35. I've seen Chris and Linda Barnes stuff, PWBA autographed pins and lots of other things. I got Barbara Chrisman's autograph there at the event. It's a good place and a great cause. I don't know about the Milwaukee function and if it has any of the same.

I like the idea of bowling carpet. That'd be pretty cool. Also, if you do an Ebay search for Bud bowling and Bud Light bowling I've seen a few items that might be worth bidding on.

Thanks for putting up that link to the bowl.com masking units, White Dot! See what happens when I don't log onto the site first thing in the morning? I actually miss questions directed to me. Ah, well, sleeping in was the better option after a busy holiday weekend!

Oh, yeah. Don't forget the table top made from a pin deck. I'm working on getting one.

I have enough bowling memorabilia in my house to get a good start on a museum.

Hmmmm. Maybe one day I'll do just that!
