Tweeten Redux

As far as Oscar Tweeten's bowling pencil goes, Skip Nemecek and I are neck-and-neck in the race for who's the most excited to learn more about it.  Of course Skip, as President of Tweeten Fibre Co. and a relative of the inventor, has a bit of a leg up on me in the research department.

Skip recently found a Tweeten 1942 catalog.  Since the company is primarily known for its billiard products, nearly the entire catalog is devoted to those product lines, but there were two pages that both Skip and I find fascinating . . .
