1927 - Lawn-Bowl-Kugel - Massivholz - 1927

Lawn bowls ball

great decorative solid wooden ball to play Lawn Bowls. A sport played in most Commonwealth countries.
Bowls, also known as lawn bowls or lawn bowling, is a sport in which players try to roll their ball (called a bowl) closest to a smaller ball (known as a "jack" or sometimes a "kitty"). The bowls are shaped (biased), so that they follow a curved path when being rolled. The game is played either in teams or one against one.
The game was first played in the 13th century. The game is played on grass, although other surfaces are sometimes used. Matches are held either until one player gets to a score, or when a number of ends are played.
The game is mostly played on a bowling green
The ball is marked and dated 1927.
The wood is Lignum vitae, a very dense and heavy wood type.
Lignum vitae also called guayacan or guaiacum and in parts of Europe known as Pockholz or pokhout, is a wood from trees of the genus Guaiacum. The trees are indigenous to the Caribbean and the northern coast of South America (e.g., Colombia and Venezuela) and have been an important export crop to Europe since the beginning of the 16th century. The wood was once very important for applications requiring a material with its extraordinary combination of strength, toughness, and density. It is also the national tree of the Bahamas, and the Jamaican national flower.[
