How to tell the age of an AMF Amflite Bowling ball

Question
Hello, I was curious how to know the age of my AMF amflite bowling ball. IT has a serial number on the ball b10797  and the tag on the inside of the carrying case is serial number 35-76-01. Thanks a lot for your help.

Answer
Anthony,
Not sure if there is a way to date the ball/bag. Is it a rubber ball? From my general recollection, an AMF Amflight ball is quite old. When did you buy it?  Rubber hasn't been made actively for decades.

Many companies had a formula within their serial numbers, but I'm not aware of one for earlier AMF balls. Sorry, I can't help.

Thanks for the question.
