John Deere Bowling Balls Sold Out Fast
That's what Sparta, Mich., toy traders Robert and Billie Squanda offered at last winter's annual Decatur, Ill., toy show. They said everywhere they take the balls people are simply amazed.
"People say they'll be the talk of the alley," says Billie.
The green balls with yellow Deere block writing were produced some time back by Brunswick as a promotional gimmick and were available in both 12 and 16-lb. sizes.
The Squandas purchased their supply from a Deere dealer who had 180 available. They've since sold more than 25 and have only one left. The dealer friend sold all his bowling balls, too, so they're now officially a "rare" commodity, Billie notes.
