I see no attachment photo

Charles Ursitti wanted me to meet with Bill Mosconi to discuss how best to sell part of the collection. So I pulled over and got a hotel in PA, Charlie said Bill would buy me breakfast. So we met at 5:30 a.m. or 6:00, he must be a true morning person. We had breakfast, told stories, and then...

Charlie Ursitti told me that there is no extant video footage of Mosconi just running balls like he did in his prime. Does anyone have any that has surfaced? He did not play well in the Caras match we've all seen. He never got "off to the races."

The pre-dart Ivorylene balls had a major flaw - the striped balls would come apart. The center (striped portion) was not mechanically connected to the sides. Their scarcity is probably due to that. For the solid #1-8 balls, it can be very difficult to tell the difference between Ivorylene...

These were Brunswick Compo-Ivory, most likely, and were contemptuously called "shell balls" by competitors. The numbers were pencil-thin and therefore look more antique than other types.

What is a set, 4 balls or 16? The box looks like it only holds 4 balls

Any chance that seller has another set? Have contact info?

From the Los Angeles photos

Jansco and Wimpy, who in center?

This guy looks vaguely familiar, is it Bill Hawkins?

Some of these came from a lot of about 50 photos I got on ebay for $50. The seller said they came from a Los Angeles mini storage when the owner failed to pay. Anyone familiar?

This guy is actually identified as Gene Fisher, anyone have more info on him?

Old rppc photo looks like he is no stranger to the game.

Probably nobody known but hey why not try to identify?

Fusco on right, who else?
