Ladies and Gentlemen,
Now some of you might have gleaned from recent [some not so recent] posts that I collect bowling memorabilia [yes, yes I know what a boring life I have]. Sadly, due to losses in transit associated with a number of household moves to various places on the planet over the past 15 or so years my collection these days is somewhat on the slim side - unlike myself - yet growing as each month goes by - much like myself!
I am not at all interested in bowling balls produced after 1970.........bowling bags or shoes of any year or similarly trophies, patches or pins [either type - that is to say those that one perhaps bowled at - and the other type, those that one "stuck" onto a shirt or jacket]. I could care less about this sort of thing.
What interests me [alarmingly for my therapist] is [or perhaps..more correctly, "are"] bowling shirts - Australian ONLY and not after 1975 - AND [very tough to find with legitimate and a quantifiable pedigree] the following.........
Bowling Jackets
Bowling Towels
Bowling Magazines
Tournament Entry Forms
Assorted "stuff" [use your imagination].
Now the requirements are simple .....
1. They need to be in near perfect condition - if you want to sell junk call Steptoe and Son
2. Intelligently priced - with great respect and all due modesty - I know what things are worth in this regard. Do not even bother to pull the wool etc, etc. Liars, cheats, thieves, pagans and vagabonds will be dealt with by Geoff Ott - a man who lacks both compassion and a sense of humor when dealing with inferior types!
3. Validated and legitimate pedigree. See - I didn't say it was easy.
So there we are - if you have it and want to sell it [donations are appreciated of course] - let me know by email to my address on TB.
Thanks.................Steve Jones
