Pool Ball Collecting.

It will be interesting to hear the gentleman’s response, HKC. I hope you’re able to buy the box, sir.

It would be nice to see more than just one ball of the red box, too. Considering the seller is asking strong money, it’s perhaps rather remiss of him not to show clear images of the full set.

Update.

The seller has now added photographs of the balls in the red Dekorit box. Unlike the balls in blue box, these certainly look genuine to me.

The condition looks from New other.

For some reason he does not show the black dot on the cue ball. Did these sets come with a plain cue?

Yes, sometimes, sir. Raschig seems to have favoured cueballs with or without black dots on occasion.

Good to know, Thank you.
I guess Aramith does that as well depending on the set.

I was extremely fortunate to buy twenty Raschig sets about ten years ago. They had been languishing in a disused jukebox warehouse in Mainz, Germany, owned by a distributor who also supplied billiard equipment to the trade.

It was a mixture of R9 and R15 sets. None of them had dotted cueballs. My guess would be that the dot came later or perhaps only featured on export sets, but that is purely speculation.

I received this set last week, but without a box or any information what they are.




I have never seen balls in a foam box like that. These are 46mm Snooker balls. Is it possible, to find the manufacturer just by the boxing style and maybe the colours used for the balls? The saturated yellow and dark blue, seem to be not that common, i hope

Any help and information is highly appreciated!

I've come across some old Aramith balls in a foam box but not sure if it was original.

Looks like you're holding out on us Rubik's

Maybe a good investment for retirement

I was able to acquire the box, he said a couple people told him they were not Raschig balls. I wouldn't be surprised if he lists them as a mixed set now.

I also told him the red box set looked real but the price was a bit high. He said offers could be made and he would consider them.
