I recently went to look at an antique brunswick table that was for sale (circa 1895). The table was falling apart since it had been kept on a back lanai area, the wood was so bad you could break it with your fingers.

While I was there I found some accessories that were better taken care of; cue rack, cues, old pill bottle and a set of balls.

A friend of mine though the balls might be ivory but I am not so sure, so I wanted to ask the experts here on AZ.

They have yellowed and do have a grain that runs through them but from my understanding ivory balls weren't that common and these seem like a newer style set.

Can anyone tell me what these are made of and if they are worth keeping?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Modern era balls bud. No value. I had a set almost identical that were from the 60's or 70's.

That's what I figured, I did well on the other items but my friend had my hopes up that I might have gotten a better deal than I originally thought.

Thanks,

Jim
