This is at an estate sale here in town.  Any body recognise it?  I have not seen it in person trying to go tomorrow and look at it.

That's a 1952 United "10th Frame" Puck Bowler.

You can find more info on it here, http://marvin3m.com/bowl/starshb.htm (http://marvin3m.com/bowl/starshb.htm)

Interesting write-up concerning a possible factory prototype conversion to make it a ball bowler, maybe the first! Pretty cool.
