Ball Bowlers
When games were not hand held and the sounds were not digitally produced.
Today’s kids have literally thousands of games at their fingertips. But no matter what game they chose, the format is always the same. Digitally produced images, phony sounds and no human interaction.
But there was a time when playing a game really meant PLAYING. You used real balls, saw live action and enjoyed real sounds as you played the game. Antique Ball Bowlers were one of the most popular games of the era from the 1950’s through the 1980’s.
