Interesting pieces here
The used up ball has diamonds inlaid at the poles, engraved:
Diamond Jim Brady - 1885 - Reno, Nevada
Fancy ball for a famous businessman and philanthropist, and the diamonds are a pretty cool touch. Very old cut, but nice and sparkly
The unused ball is exactly that, unplayed and completely flawless. The finish is so good that you can see your reflection in it, I have never seen another so perfect.
The box is from 1907, made of scrapped Brunswick cues and parts from the factory. Exotic woods and veneers, a really handsome piece. The feet are small ivory balls. Inside the lid, it is signed:
1907 - Oscar Nelson
If you look him up, you'll find he moved onward and upward into Chicago politics with Al Capone ties. In 1907, he was freshly immigrated to the US from Sweden.
Lighting outside was tough, but you can see the reflection of my treeline and roofline in the close-up of the ball.
