stevecoco Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ok Guys, looking to purchase (trade) a Silver Presentation Lawn Bowls Jack for a club up here in Scotland. I only require the Jack a stand is not required. I have done the usual and googled, but the prices are a bit out there anything from £450-£650 retail price. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced item I can purchase. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 The only one I've ever come across is in the Swatkins book at £545 RETAIL price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes Steven, but I cannot believe that something so small costs so much, there must be cheaper alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecoco Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Youoozzz Guys, do you not think I had not thought that already. Are golf balls the same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes good one Andy. Think there is an opportunity here for the trophy manufacturers for this item, reasonably priced in nickel plated. Had 3 enquiries this year so far.

ANDY Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 quote: The Jack is 2.5 inches in diameter (the same as for Lawn/Indoor Bowls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just checked, the 2 1/2 inch bearing weighs over a kilogramme, the old boys would need a cannon to launch it across the lawn green, I do not want to be the cause of Mr Baxter's (Baxters Soups of Speyside) death.
