Brunswick Starfire from 1943. Old guy here used to bowl, and bought the ball when he got out of the army in 1943.

 When he retired from bowling, I bought it from him.

I've got 2 AMF Grey Angles that I use regularly.  (circa 1985?)

Other oldies I have:

Ebonite Pinncle (2 NIB, circa 1990?)
Faball Hammers:  Red, Black, Pink, Blue & Pearl Blue  (Black is NIB) all made during the mid-late 80's
