"Cambrian" Lapel Pin
A very primitive yet charming piece from a simpler time!
Rare item of bowling memorabilia from the closed Cambrian Bowl in San Jose, California which had been in operation for over 50 Years. This elf or gnome was the mascot of this establishment and this pin was allegedly given to bowlers of a 200 game during the 1970s thru the early/mid 1980s. Character is wearing a tall hat w/feather and buckled shoes; has long beard and is preparing to roll a ball. 'Cambrian' is spelled out in cursive at the bottom. Golden outlines really illuminate when the light catches it at a certain angle!
