Us Patent No. 2118383 Bowling Game by Alphonse E Page May 24 1938 — Alphonse E. Page's schematic lays out an alley in miniature, with pin-spotting mechanisms and ball returns drawn at a moment when bowling was migrating out of smoky basement lanes and into the gleaming, automated parlors that would define the postwar American evening.
About the Source
Bella Frye sources sports artifacts from American archives — the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventor's drawings, and from the great American tobacco-card and broadside traditions for vintage memorabilia: Allen & Ginter, T206, Cracker Jack, Boston Garter, the Negro League broadsides, and the early press photographs that documented baseball, football, golf, and the rest of the American sporting century.
Materials & Finish
Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:
- Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
- Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
- Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded
Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.
Where It Belongs
Game rooms, dens, sports bars, fan caves, home offices, and any space where the engineering and folklore of American sport earn wall presence. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Sports Memorabilia collection — patents, portraits, programs, and the artifacts of the great American game.

Let customers speak for us
It arrived on time and my husband loves it. He has a Mustang Fastback 66 and he confirms it's accurate. It's great.
The map arrived when expected and looks great! Perfect addition to the living room.
Beautiful piece the style is incredible. I have lived and worked on the John Brown and this is perfect.
Exactly what I wanted and what the description stated.
Love it, looks great in my office
looks really nice in a black frame, just right in my brother in laws man cave
Absolutely beautiful, I couldn’t be happier with it. It is perfect in my home office. I will eventually get a better quality frame for it. I apologize for the glare, the photo does not do it justice!
I purchased this for my niece who is fascinated with American history. She LOVES this piece and has given it a prominent placement in her room. The item was beautifully framed and looks amazing. Thank you. I would definitely recommend this seller.
Lovely colors, vibrant, really lovely.
Beautifully captured canvas print with frame. Can't wait to hang it in my new home!
The map is gorgeous. It feels just like old time school maps. I didn’t think the frame looked exactly as pictured, but it is a good look overall.
Love the looks of the print
My 24 year old son drives a '71 Pinto so this was the perfect gift for him. It shipped really fast and the quality is even nicer than I expected. I would definitely recommend this for a car lover and I appreciate that there are classic cars available.
Beautiful! Exactly as described. Very pleased
Great experience, but definitely buy again
