Does anyone know of a way to tell by the serial number (by brand) when the ball was manufactured.
My Virtual gravity starts with 09, knowing this ball was manufactured in 09 I can only assume that storm starts theirs of with the year.
I have an old White Dot and an old Super Beast though (both columbia 300) which I am not sure on both had previous owners the SB serial number starts with a 7 and from what I found online the SB started manufacturing in 1997 .. my WD starts with a 9 which makes me assume it was made in 1999... BUT
is there a place or site that lists how to read the serial codes per brand to know for sure when they were made?
Thanks

How to tell how old a bowling ball is

I thought that it might be useful to start a thread for people like myself, to ask around and try to get more information about some of their vintage or discontinued bowling balls.
I have two of such balls, an Ebonite Galexie 300 purple swirl, and a Brunswick Mixer II in orange and black. How do these balls handle? How old are they? What kinds of cores do they have? I haven't used mine yet (I need to have them redrilled), so any information about them would be appreciated.
If anybody else is having trouble finding information on their old bowling balls, then feel free to post about it here, and maybe somebody can help.
