    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.
    Hollymont Bowl ~ 200 Award ~ Not much info available but was located at 1600 N Vermont Ave. which is now a Chase Bank.
    PIN closure.
    Santa Monica Bowl ~ 200 Award ~ Opened in 1939 at 2524 Wilshire Blvd.
    PIN closure.
    (Next 2) read: La Cienega (with Wings motif) ~ 200 Award (white) 250 Award (blue) May be the same establishment as "Linkletter's La Cienega Lanes" prior to acquisition. 200 Award has PIN closure. 275 Award has PUSH PIN
    El Rancho Bowl ~ 200 Award ~ couldn't find info.
