“Good-Very Good overall antique cond: The wooden bowling balls that would've accompanied the six (6) lathe-turned wooden bowling pins, were separated from the pins at some previous juncture & are now missing. What remains however are six (6) lathe-turned, sidewall ringed, w/incised channels, wooden bowling pins, apparently fashioned out of chestnut wood, which was previously widely available in North America, before the great chestnut tree was nearly wiped out by blight at the beginning of the 20th c. Chestnut trees once literally covered the landscape of the East Coast at the turn of the cent only then to nearly completely disappear due to the devastating blight. These pins were fashioned from this wide-grained chestnut wood, which was also used to make the hand-hewn beams in early American homes. The pins are lathe-turned & have nat aged patina & dry wood surfaces. W/bulbous heads & thin, soft slender necks & shoulders. Incised w/3 layers of rings. Great American folk art pieces. Fun.”
