Cue ball ID?

[ideologist]

Anyone have information on this cue ball?

Never seen it before! o.o

Sorry for blur. Light blue huge circle ball. Feels pretty heavy.

Looks like he cue ball that comes with a Brunswick Centennial set, although the picture makes the circle look a little larger than it's supposed to.

Circle is larger and lighter than Cent ball

Here's a pic of one - is this it?

No, trust me, baby blue and larger circle. Never seen this one before. From an older set for sure. Came out of a hall that closed in the 70s

The Chinese have a red circle and a blue circle copy - thinner lines, crisp edges on the circles, pretty white -probably one of those.

Bah, probably. Hoping I found something interesting. Boo knockoffs. :-(

Welcome to the frustrating world of trying to figure out old billiard stuff.

Here's an interesting case. I have this set that's brand new called Brunswick "Century" balls. Made by Saluc, can't find them in any catalog. My guess is they were only sold through dealers in display cases, cheaper than Centennials. Cue ball is white blank.

I'm guessing 1960's based on the Courier typewriter font inside.
