Description:

1905 Brunswick Bowling Advertising Sign. Quite a departure from the suburban alleys with their shoe rental counters and dollar beer nights, this view of the International Bowling Tournament in Milwaukee in February of 1905 shows the game at its most refined. This gorgeous, colorful sign surely served active duty at a sporting goods store in the early part of the twentieth century, and shows only minor wear from its hundred years of life, with light water staining along two edges and a bend in the particle board to which the image is applied along the right edge. These factors cannot diminish the tremendous visual appeal, which should be clearly evident in our catalog imagery. The image size is an impressive 27x36", with the frame bringing the final dimensions to 31x40".
