Vintage Brunswick Centennial Balls??

[tpoppa]

I came across this set of Vintage Brunswick Centennial Balls.

It's a complete set.
For their age, the condition is pretty good.
If you look closely there are marks and imperfections, but nothing that rises to the level of a "chip."
They are yellowed and colors have faded over the years, but they still have a good amount of shine.
They would probably clean up a bit nicer if someone was inclined to take the time.

I was told they were from the 1960s. Is there's a way to validate that?
What would be a fair value...does $100 sound like it's in the ballpark?

sure its a decent deal if you want an old set of them. they play well as do almost all sets of balls.

make sure by the colors that there are not replacement balls in there.

your pics make them look all faded out. if thats the case who wants them at all.

Well, they're 50-60 years old and used.

Honestly I would not pay more than $75, at this point there really just for display.

And yes those look like late 60's early 70's Hyatt/ABB Centennials.

If you have the original box and they are in good condition you can get $150. They are timeless beauties.

I tend to agree that they are best suited for display or a collection. They could be played, but why

I read the straight line under the 6 & 9 means they are pre-1985...but not sure how to narrow it down further. I was told 1960s, based on context that seems reasonable.

I'll probably put them in classifieds.

They came with the blue circle cue ball, seems odd that its not show in the pic.

Would sets from the 60s have the blue circle cue ball? This cue ball appears to be similar age as the rest of the set, but no blue circle

Got to be a worth a hundred if the cue ball is a blue circle

Yes the Blue Circle was the standard issue with that ball set, the best cb for 14.1, it would keep churning after it went into the stack.

I'll list them in marketplace for $100 shipped to CONUS if anyone is interested.

They're pre '82 for sure, that's when they started putting numbers in the in the stripes. Saluc/aramith got the contract in '82 by way of underbidding Hyatt. The Cennt's debuted in B'wicks '52 catalog.

 

[tpoppa]

They have been sold.

Late 60's/early 70's. Here's my set of the same vintage with period correct box.
