Romanique Pool Balls.

Good morning, everyone.

I’m in regular contact with a group of about one hundred pool ball collectors and between us we are only aware of six complete sets of Romanique I balls, just two of which are still in their original box.

I was wondering if any folks browsing the forum also own a set?

Best wishes.

Thanks, Bob!

Could it possibly have been the 1976 championship, sir?

I remember (vaguely) seeing the balls before play started, but it could have been on the second day of 1976, after Hurricane Belle passed (with some excitement). Some of the 3s, 5s, and 7s had bulging eyes and I happened to have a ball gauge. They had enough sets to make four with round balls.

Thank you! 🙏
 
Custom specialists D and L Billiards of Rhode Island are offering a Roman numeral set.

$375 plus shipping.

It’s an iconic design to collectors for sure, but if the balls are similar to other personalised sets I have seen from this outlet they will be cast in a polyester resin using surface sublimation so be aware of that before ordering.

This photograph by forum member bfriesth is possibly unique in capturing two complete Romanique I sets together… plus a Romanique II for good measure.

I don’t believe a similar image can be found anywhere online.
