Columbia Appraisal

Columbia 300 Performance Bowling Ball

The item is a bowling ball, distinguishable by its spherical shape and the three drilled finger holes characteristic of modern bowling balls (two for the middle and ring fingers, and one for the thumb, though only two are clearly visible in the top view). The ball exhibits a striking black and white swirled or marbled pattern, which adds a decorative and dynamic visual appeal. The surface appears to be polished, reflecting light, indicating a smooth, likely resin or reactive resin finish commonly used for performance bowling balls. There are visible markings in a golden-yellow or light tan color on the surface, reading "BPPK2220" and "USBC" with a star logo, indicating compliance with the United States Bowling Congress regulations, a key quality indicator for professional or competitive use. The overall condition appears to be good to excellent, with no immediately visible deep scratches, chips, or major wear, suggesting it is well-maintained or relatively new. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise drilling of the finger holes and the consistent, high-gloss finish. Given the 'Columbia 300' context provided, this is likely a performance bowling ball manufactured by Columbia 300, a well-known brand in the bowling industry, estimated to be a contemporary design.
