    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Sometimes the pieces just fall into place! I reached a milestone recently with the purchase of a Bulls/Pistons NBA set. I have always hoped for this exact set so I was amazed when one appeared. It completes my rivalry shelf which I think adds a bit of fun to the collection.

    Thanks RC! My JW set came in a generic box so I've always wondered what the original looks like. I'm sure it was nice. If anyone has an example I would like to see it.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I bought a Johnnie Walker gift set at Costco. Perfect for an evening of comparing the blends while playing the Johnnie Walker set. The box was the same size as a billiard ball box so my set also got a nice new home.

    Thanks LBF. It's amazing to me that they're that old. That must be why you don't see them very often. I see the 1 7/8" size occasionally but not the larger.

    Thank you, Rubik's Cube. Hat's off for starting this thread. Your posts are always informative, and I've learned a lot reading from the beginning. I'm glad you liked the photos, I wasn't sure if they would post well after resizing. I can't find much on these balls and I'm grateful K2K posted...

    I completely agree. I've been looking for a set of these for a long time because the colors are so beautiful. We hosted Thanksgiving and everyone insisted on playing the 'old clays'. I took some closeups to show how interesting the colors are. Thanks again.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Hello. I'm new to the site. This is a very informative forum and the genuine friendships and generosity between contributors is wonderful. The reason I'm here is that I recently got a set of 2 1/16" clay agate balls. Pictured below. I can't find any history of these. K2K alludes to turn of the...
