Billiards memorobilia auction coming up - Great images online

[AuntyDan]

If you are into old Billiards memorobilia and were not already aware of it, there is an auction coming up at the end of April being run by Rich Penn in Desmoines, Iowa. (I only know about it because I was sent a flyer in a recent order from Mueller's.)

Even if you have no intention of buying anything they have a great online catalog you can browse through for the images alone. If you are interested in buying it looks like they have some kind of online live auction sytem via Ebay.

Here are some of my favorites I've found so far:

How many of you have seen a FULL set of Ivory balls:

And I wonder how much this will go for:

"Billiard buffet, Brunswick-Balke-Collender, oak, c.1890's, holds your cues, pool balls & chalk, has a drawer & a cupboard for all else with pea-pool & sliding bead scorekeepers at top, the "ultimate" in billiard furniture, Exc. restored condition, 73"H x 47"W."

Thanks for the link Jeff. I think these metal scoring beads from the 20's look great, I've never seen ones like that before.

Woah! That's some serious billiards bling right there!

The Ebay auction also shows where this stuff came from - This is a liquidation of the stock of long-time Billiards collector and dealer Mark Stellinga, who has published a book on Billiards collectables and has his own website here.
