Pool Ball Collecting.

Rubik's Cube
Hello, HKC.

That’s a marvelous set of snooker balls, sir.

Vitalite is a carbolic acid and formalin compound as pioneered by Dr Max Koebner of Raschig fame. Your set was made by the Composition Billiard Ball Supply Company who had factories in Cheshire and London from the early part of the last century… but sadly long since gone.

The balls should be 2 and 1/16th inches.

The cue has a loyal following. Not many people would be willing to sell theirs. I won’t.



It’s my only cue that made me more money than it cost me. I used to play with it in a bar tournament years ago. I made more prize money than the sum of my entry fees with enough left over to cover the cost of the cue.

I had one many moons ago. To be honest, back then I wanted something a little "fancier." I suppose that's why they say that wisdom is earned, and "if I knew then, what I know now."

Those cues have definitely stood the test of time, IMO.

What's your skill level?

I would consider myself decent, I run out when I should. I play once a week and still manage to put on some multiple racks if break/layouts are friendly enough. Pool is my third hubby, albeit life. Got work(my actual prof), got family to take care of(wife, kids), an elderly mother and dad that I am responsible for. As well as I play tennis/golf as my first and foremost hubby, then lastly its pool which is another game that I like. I play on Sundays night only, once a week.

Granted, I still put on 4-5 packs on occasion, at any given moment playing 9balls.

Shipping cue

Some upstanding member here please slap me squarely for using USPS again. Bought a cue and asked for USPS shipment, it's been 10 days since shipment, with a full 5 days to hit the regional distribution center around 60 miles from origin. Now another 5 days and no update. Original estimated delivery was June 4.

And the USPS tracking site now has a banner stating possible delays due to the World Cup. How does the World Cup materially impact USPS?! They were waiting to roll out that excuse for months I bet.

The seller has been great to deal with, no fault to him.

Slapped. You just got slapped. Sit back and hold tight. The shipment will most likely work out. it’s not IF.. it’s When
