Billiard Chalk collecors' thread....let's trade!

Mike Porter said:
A friend told me about this thread so I thought I would post something. I went on a spree of adding chalk to my collection. I have posted these before but for anyone new. Hunger Strike I like your chalk with an elephant on it. What brand is it?

I see that you've got a couple of cubes of Clik chalk. I've got a cube of that that I'm actually using (I know, blasphemy I'm sure ha ha). That stuff is really high quality. Hell, even though it's collectible, it's probably still cheaper than kamui chalk ha ha.

Celluloid/plastic/bakelite chalk holders

This one has advertising on it, as well as nice grippy groovies. Spinks made square and round holders for replaceable wafer chalks...see the photo of the Spinks chalks earlier in this thread as it shows the square with "Spinks Special" stamped on the pieces. Since Brunswick's chalk holders were identical but with Manhattan Club stamped into the celluloid, I'd deduce that Spinks made BBC's chalk at that time. Probably around 1900.

And here I was thinking I was some kind of collector hoarding my case of pre flag masters.

Excellent collection gents! Love the varieties.
 
Seems like someone on Ebay is slowly selling off his collection of chalks. Wondering whether the person is from AZB.
 
Round chalk....another piece for the shelf

Just made a deal for one piece of this, will not have any to trade. A few pieces of this just came on the market, and were never seen before.....

I don't think any of the guys on ebay are selling off their collections as chalk is the strongest billiard collectible right now...guys are just selling off their duplicates.
 
Chalk collector's group, emails needed to join

We are getting together ten collectors to split up boxes of chalk that come up for sale. Chalk is getting too expensive to buy whole boxes, but partial boxes come up. So pm me email addresses and/or names of collectors, and we can go from there. Especially interested in several Japanese collectors who have kept pretty private. Thanks!
 
Hunger strike...nice to see you back. Still doing any of those spectacular custom made triangle ball racks?
 
Ancient white chalk, excellent graphics

This is one of the nicest chalks to have turned up in a very long time. I have four pieces left to trade or sell. If I sell anything, money goes to help others not to me...not a business here. Would rather trade.

I have a signed collage of various photos & cards of Mosconi including photos of him playing when he was a child.

Along with the collage, I received a cube of chalk along with documentation alleging that it belonged to Mosconi.
