Clear Skull Bowling Ball
I have an update on my quest for a clear skull bowling ball. Since no one around my area has any in stock I started searching online.
Ebay has several listings for a knockoff clear skull bowling ball. I guess it is a pro shop trying to sell them, but I’m not even sure who the manufacturer is. They look similar to the old school Ebonite skull bowling ball, but it isn’t the same thing.
I guess if it doesn’t make any difference to you whether yours is an Ebonite ball or not, then go for it. There are also a few of the Ebonite skull bowling balls listed there, with no “buy it now” option. The biggest difference I can tell from the photos is the Ebonite ball shows the skull with an open mouth, while the knockoff has a skull with the teeth clenched.
I dunno, maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I’m going for the original. Unless I am totally off base with this one. Let me know what you think.
