Ivory Billiard Balls - Looking for accurate value.
- Thread starter poolhustler
- Start date
I stopped following Ebay prices for ivory (now called "ox bone") balls six years ago, but at that time a set of medium condition ivory balls was about $200. Those look to be in excellent condition. It's too bad you don't have an old Brunswick wood box (with printing on the top) to go with them.
i have a few sets
as i am a collector of ivory carvings. i have bought them for as little as $25 for one ball, and as much as $100 per ball. very few are really round, and if you use them they could crack.
without seeing them in person to see the real condition of each ball, my guess is about $300.00 for the set.

Heard on the news yesterday that the Chinese are paying around $1,000 per pound for ivory, and that elephant poachers are out in full force in Africa. The soldiers fighting the poachers are armed with belt-driven machine guns, RPGs, even mortars, and still can't keep them at bay. Serious business.
A recent set of ox bones on the bay recently were bid to 393.00 and didn't meet the guys reserve. We just posted a page of ivories on line. I'd say 300-400+ in that range.
