Thought I’d share a little project I put together recently. I enjoy collecting vintage Billiard items and acquired some antique cards. Firstly the full set of Mecca Tobacco cards from 1910 and second some Victorian Era French Trade cards depicting various cueing situations. So I put them in shadow boxes and added a few things to the layout to class them up. Some miniature cues that I made on my lathe (painted with a sharpie lol) and some green felt and beads from a craft store that resembled old ivory balls with cracking. Anyway enjoy the pics

This is just fantastic, let me know if it goes up for sale, my wallet's open! Super cool "crazed" beads there, nice touches all the way around

Very nice! I have one or two cards from that set but haven't been able to find more without paying ebay prices.
