(10) VINTAGE BOWLING HIGH GAME AWARD PINBACKS ~ ALL EXTINCT LOS ANGELES ALLEYS ~

Description

As all ten (10) of these vintage enamel BOWLING HIGH GAME AWARD PINBACKS represent extinct bowling alleys in the Los Angeles area they are being sold as a great lot!!  As only 12 pictures are allotted, I will indicate after each description whether they have an actual PIN closure, or a PUSH PIN BACK.  From left to right starting on the top row:
Pan Pacific Lanes ~ 200 Award ~ 7554 Beverly Blvd. (7 blocks east of Fairfax) was once housed as part of the PAN PACIFIC THEATER complex that opened in 1942 together with a cafe and ice rink.
PIN closure.
(Next 4) Linkletter's La Cienega Lanes ~ (3) 200 Awards--white (1) 275 Award -- blue. Was once located at the northeast corner of Santa Monica & La Cienega, West Hollywood. Acquired by TV personality Art Linkletter and his associates in 1946...hence the name. It became a roller disco in the 70's.
The 3 white pins have PIN closures...blue has a PUSH PIN.
