    NAAFI Chalk

    I have been a collector for a while, so I?ve accumulated a few different items. No I don?t think I have ever used a piece. Now that you mention it, I have a few Spinks chalks, I?ll give one a try. In general they do look quite dry. Here is some more Bull Dog chalk. I like the logo on the last...

    A Canadian Legend

    Joe Davis was given something of god status in Europe due to being undefeated. Chenier went to England to play an exhibition match against Davis and he set the world high run record with a run of 144. The British could not believe that someone other than JD could accomplish this, let alone a...

    Joe Balsis pinky ring chalk

    I have a large chalk collection so you would think that I should know when they stopped making round chalk. When I purchased the item, it being labelled from the Balsis collection had nothing to do with the purchase. I bought it because I had never seen one before. From what you say it does not...
