2 Great go with's for my Paterson collection

[epackage]

Here is a plate and mug made by Thomas Maddox in Trenton NJ back in the early 1900's, the plate is dated 1906 and the mug 1914, they are both from the Paterson Silk Co. Bowling League. I love that 8 years apart they still used the same print of the bowlers....

Hey Jim,

Man, those are in great condition! I'd like to invite you to check out the menu from The 2nd Annual Banquet.

Kinda Aubrey Beardsley goes bowling, don'tcha think.

Very cool Surfaceone, I hate that they used to stamp these types of things it seems to take away from them in so many ways. I don't see much from the Silk Bowling League anywhere so thanx for showing me that link.

Here's a vintage NY Times article, about the makeup of the League.

Cool, Jim!!! I would say, from the body types of the bowlers, they were regular attendees of the banquets! []

Or, maybe not, I found this starting page, but now cannot get into the article. I refuse to sign up, cuz I'm still sore about the Series.
