Look like second-level Hyatts or Aramiths from the 1980s or earlier.
Good condition -- should play fine.
Check your PM's for my email address. I will post the picture for you.
On another site, an individual said they seem like a mix and match set but I have no idea how they can come up with that from the picture.
Is it just me or do some of the numbers look different than the others? I.e. the 10 and 11 seem to have a thin font while the 6 and 9 seem to be bold?

The fonts of the numbers are slightly different. For example the lines on the 12 look much thicker than on the 11.
If the balls all weigh within a few grams of each other, I wouldn't worry about it.
I appreciate the information, looks like I got a lucky buy here :smile::smile:
Back then, balls were still basically made by hand. Font density varied accordingly. All of your balls originated in Albany, New York.

Well they look old, Aramith seen to go to a Yellowish Tone with ago. Does not effect the playability.

I think they have no collector value. Using them for a couple of years is not going to put any mileage on them compared to what they already have.
Is it more likely that they are aramith or brunswick gold?
I agree with Boxcar that they are probably Hyatts. That would make them neither Brunswick nor Aramith. Brunswick hasn't been involved with making balls since the change to phenolics and likely contracted out clay balls before then.
The kind of look like the Hyatt Supreme Lifetimer set, which I believe was in the 80s

Ride 'em like a rented mule! They can take it. They are actually very, very good balls. Hyatt went out of business in 1985. Until then they had been the sole provider to Brunswick of the world renowned Centennial Ball. When Hyatt quit, Saluc became the approved vendor for the Brunswick Centennial Ball, and still has the contract today.
If you play those balls responsibly and keep them off the floor, they'll last forever.
