Pool Ball Collecting.

So there is no general consensus that these were ever intended to be billiards balls. The theory I proscribe to is they were intended to be used by a newspaper to drop inside 50 gallon drums of news print ink and used to thin the ink out when placed on a vibration stand just like those marbles inside a can of spray paint

The variable sizes coupled with random colors lends credence to this theory over some of the others.

That is a very interesting theory, Mr B. 👍

Pool Ball Collecting.

I got these Hyatt Gumballs in today off of eBay and they have a couple sets left. I made an offer much lower than they're asking price and it was accepted pretty quickly.
They seem legitimate but the weights are a bit off. 11 gr. Difference, So I'm curious if anybody else has a set and can tell me if theirs are that far off as well. Thanks
