Hello, Meemer. I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. Your father sounds like a great fellow and his billiard collection is amazing. I’m the pool ball enthusiast mentioned above. I’ll gladly offer whatever information I can if you could post up a few more images, please. Take care.

Great detective work, Rob! And I agree, sir, they appear to be a perfect match.

EPCO also have a penchant for extending the sweep of their 3s and 5s, just as is present in your set. Here is an example of that, dear chap…

Epco

Regards further elimination of other notable manufacturers active in the 1970s and 1980s… in my view, Rob, your set is also not from Raschig or Hyatt.

Hello again, Rob. Yes, sir, I am indeed familiar with Crystalate (and the later formula known as Super Crystalate) but couldn’t state with any authority whether or not your set was either of those unfortunately. My personal opinion would be that the balls are not Aramith… the stripes in...

Hello, Rob. Truly beautiful table, sir! Alas, I’m unable to help with a ball identification, dear chap. Sorry. It’s quite the mystery to me… rather unusual colours and number font.

Hello, Ivan. You’re right about the number typeface being somewhat erratic to say the least, sir! Mr B is probably correct, but to be honest there are so many inconsistencies I haven’t really got a clue.

Good morning, 8cree. 🙂 Cueballs are a fantastic niche of pool ball collecting, and definitely an area I would also like to expand in my own collection at some point. Great work, dear chap. And thank you very much indeed for sharing your treasures on the thread. Best wishes, RC.

Excellent, 8cree! I think it might be wise to make use of the screws, though, dear chap!

Sincere thanks for all your wonderful contributions to this thread throughout the year, ladies and gentlemen. They were very much appreciated indeed. Here’s wishing you a safe, peaceful and prosperous new year… may all the most desirable pool ball sets roll your way in 2024. 🙏

Ah, apologies, that set is rather more rare!

Congratulations on your new star cueball, Mr P. It looks like a perfect marriage. I believe Aramith’s leopard print ball is still quite often available, dear chap, so you should be able to pick one up soon. Good luck.

Thanks, Dan! Another very lucky score for me, sir. I just happened to be on eBay as the set was listed.

Thank you for sharing that link, Mr P. It is a beautiful and interesting set of balls for sure, dear fellow. Personally, alas, I dare not begin collecting another size… my addiction is severe enough just sticking with the pool balls!
