2661 forum posts 294 photos	I enjoyed this quote from your link: Curling is a game, developed by the Scotch, A little off-topic was an article a few weeks ago about design and manufacture of bowling balls where the centres of such balls are available in different off-centre balances to take advantage of various types of waxed lane surfaces to allow the balls to curve during their run. pgk

1129 forum posts 1 photos	Michael, A couple of years ago we found two strange objects in a box of tools that turned out to be a pair of solid nickel silver and ebony antique handles for curling stones. Having looked them up I find that we started them at £12 on eBay. We were delighted when they made over £100 and went to a specialist restorer in Scotland! I very much doubt we will ever see another pair! Cheers, Martin
