Title: Can You Date This Ball ??
Post by: RandyO on August 28, 2005, 06:26:00 PM
I couldn't pass this one up. Anyone have any idea when the "All Star" was produced? Early 60's? Late 60's? Early 70's?? Any of you "old-timers" remember this one?

Randy O.

The All Star was a hard rubber ball made in the late 70's/early 80's for sporting good stores. I will be like a Black Beauty.

Were they really using the seven-character serial numbers in the 1970s?  I could be wrong, but I don't remember having seen them until 1982 or so.

Wow - must be a slow day.

BC -
I can pass them up - I don't have a Smokin' or a Rampage yet. No Dry/R, no Punisher, no Nemesis. I'm way behind you.
I don't need any more bowling balls. They closed my bowling alley Sunday. I have to work through the depression first
