The Brunswick Corp. was a major supplier of duckpin bowling equipment for bowling establishments. From lanes, returns, scoreboards, shoes etc. except automatic pinsetters. AMF another big supplier had a test model duckpin setter but before it could be put in mass production Sherman Automatic Pinsetters cornered the marketplace. Brunswick sponsored "Toots" and her major league womens bowling team until Toots retired. Brunswick also was famous for their Red Crown bowling pins that were a favorite at most bowling tournaments including the Elizabeth Barger Open. The words "Toots" Barger and Brunswick were always featured together.
Today Brunswick continues to be a major supplier of bowling equipment for tenpins only.
