FS: One last HYATT Limited Edition 1776-BICENTENNIAL-1976 [BALL] set with original BOX and CERTIFICATE

The Hyatt Limited Edition 1776-Bicentennial-1976 sets:

Made by the Albany Ball Company out of Albany, NY - makers of the somewhat famous Brunswick Centennial balls since 1945 - had realized an unfortunate decline in business that nearly put them "out of business" during a rough stretch of 3 consecutive years in the mid 1970's. They reorganized the company and decided to introduce this new set and design to not only celebrate our countries 200th anniversary, but revitalize their ball business.

Instead of the traditional darts or notches found on other balls, Hyatt put a star to help distinguish this set from the Brunswick sets, even though it was virtually the same ball composition-wise. Along with a truly unique Liberty Bell cue ball (that caught much criticism).

This was the last great ball and set made by this great company that eventually succumbed to the onslaught of cheap imports in the late 60's and 70's and closed their doors for good in 1986. The Hyatt balls were "the standard", and for nearly 2/3rd's of the 20th century, they really dominated.

They play and sound beautifully - reminiscent of the same era Centennials of course. Except for the star.

This is the very last set I have available and is in fantastic condition, with the original box and it's original issue "LIMITED EDITION" certificate.

See the pictures for visual details.

I have personally had these balls in my display collection only and have been lovingly cared for and watched over for the next owner.

This LAST set is avail for $250 SHIPPING including anywhere in the continental USA (CONUS ONLY) and anywhere else worldwide with additional shipping not quoted until known exactly where.

Paypal preferred.

By the way, my one other set I have and play with for a few 14.1 matches every month with its box and certificate was purchased for over $500 and I've never regretted it. It will stay in my family for at last the next generation (my son has spoken for these already :-) so this last set I have falls into what I would call "a great deal" for a collector or lover of desirable and collectible balls.

Pease contact me via PM with any questions.

Bump for the weekend.

Sets this nice with zero scratches and zero nicks WITH an original box and original certificate don't come around very often. I've only seen a few in the last 5 years.

40 year old set ready for the next caretaker

Bumped up for the folks looking for collectible items other than cues this weekend.

Original box, Limited Edition certificate and original Liberty Bell cue ball. Nice set of playable Bicentennials.
