I've been a bowler for a long time, and a collector of what I tend to refer to as 'items of older technology'. Primarily, my collecting has centered around computer related items (there is a link below for that), but now and again bowling related things creep back in as opportunities present themselves. On these pages you will find some things documented that might be expected from someone collecting bowling related items, and some things that you might not expect. I assure you, some surprises await!

These pages exist for no real reason other than that I wanted to share a few thoughts and a little history with others, and for those that care let it be known that there are at least some minor efforts to preserve some unique historical items related to the sport.

While there are references (and links) to some companies, manufacturers, and other related sites, it should be stated that this site is not sanctioned or related in any way to these other sites, nor is it sponsored in any way or approved by any companies or manufacturers that may be mentioned. All opinions stated in these pages is strictly my own, and should be considered only to be the individual opinion of the author.

It is a work in progress...
