It's true.
Didn't realize you were able to grab one of those. Congratulations they're a good addition and cool ball.

That box repurposing is genius!
Very well done indeed, sir!

Hello again, Chi-Rack.
I believe the original Johnnie Walker box was just the generic black bubble box from China, dear chap. I won my own set at a tournament sponsored by Johnnie Walker and it was in that plain box.
I stand to be corrected, but your ingenious upgrade is the best it’s ever been as far as I’m aware, sir.

Hello, Enimrac.
Welcome to the thread, sir.
I believe that is an early set of Aramith Continentals.
The numbers and stripes were screen printed so rather prone to scratches and scuffs, but due to this fact finding a nice example like yours is often tough, dear chap.
Sincere thanks for sharing.

Hello, Ric.
Welcome to the thread, dear chap.
That set is quite mysterious. Other than the fact that the balls were made by Hyatt after the company had moved to Fort Edward and sent to a Virginian newspaper, nobody seems to know much about the purpose or design of this, rather beautiful, set.
Collector Chuck Jones of Michigan was the first to coin the nickname Gumballs and the name has stuck. Since a seller began listing several examples on eBay a few years ago prices seem to have steadily risen.

Just collected the package from my parents house, balls are in perfect condition, the box still had the plastic wrapper on it!
You are correct. To make it even more odd, the Virginian Pilot/Ledger Star ordered these in a case lot. Very strange. Here's the shipping label from the original box they were shipped in.

Beautiful, I now kick myself for being sceptical of the seller. Nice addition.
Appreciate the info! I was considering buying but if they have no purpose other than collecting… I am not sure I am interested. If I purchase a set I prefer they have a purpose on the table. I am new collecting. I have 5 sets so I am not even sure I qualify as collector, yet. At the moment, I am looking to scoop up the aramith 7 ball set with the rack. Other than eBay I am unsure where else to look… I have 142 pages to sift through here though. I am sure I will come up with some interesting while I do.
Thanks again for the back story on those balls

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I think they've been multiplying like rabbits when you weren't watching!I remember when I only had five sets, and then I read this entire thread...
This is what my collection looks like now as I was packing them up to move...

The Billiard Ball Museum is planning to release its third limited edition very soon, gentlemen.
I’m sure the good folks on this thread will be amongst the first to know.
