DescriptionThis tabletop bowling game, manufactured by Ranger Steel Products Corp., features a long, rectangular metal alley with a woodgrain-patterned playing surface and a red border. The game includes ten small bowling pins and three balls, designed for interactive play. At one end of the alley, a mechanical bowler figurine, dressed in a blue shirt and striped pants, is positioned to simulate the act of rolling the ball. The opposite end features a green triangular section with yellow dots, representing the pin area. Included with the game is a partially torn, blue and brown instruction sheet, titled "HOW TO SET UP AND PLAY THE RANGER BOWLING ALLEY." The instructions provide details on setting up the bowler and adjusting the spring mechanism for play.
