Does anyone know where I can acquire some old Master Chalk? I believe it is made before the 1980's using the old formula.

Dave, would you like to make a small wager that what has been said is just an Urban Legend?
If so, please tell me how you would like to post up and the specifications for the bet!!!!!!!!
Craig, you obviously have me at a disadvantage... did my post come across that strong? It wasn't intended that way.manwon said:Dave, would you like to make a small wager that what has been said is just an Urban Legend?

Pre American Flag Master?

I am told that the pre 1982 is the best.
Best I can offer is Pre Flag Green as I have a lifetime supply. Assuming I will live to 120.

How much?
If your reply was to me a PM would work.
Hello every body I don"t want to step on any-ones toes here but
I always forget to order some masters chalk (my favirote) I run out and I go locally and pick up what ever they have and you know the story it's either messy or i miss cue I live near Chicago thought i could save on shipping on a gross and pick it up at the place its made
(Tweeten Fibre Co Chicago) They said they dont do that then I asked about the lead deal and this is what he had to tell me.
I asked his permission to post his response here and he wrote this
I don't have a problem with putting my response on a forum I just don't want it to sound too "American" if you know what I mean. If you'd like I can re-type a more subtle answer to post?
then he said a meeting came up so just post his original answer
Good question, unfortunately people have no idea what they are talking about. The short answer is that flag or no flag the chalk is exactly the same. The reason for the flag was two fold. Following 9/11 I was compelled to do something to show my pride as an American and as an American Company. That was the only reason for the flag. So prior to 9/11 there was never a flag on our label. Since anything involving lead hasn?t been used for over 25 years there is no way that chalk prior to 9/11 was any different other then the American flag. The second reason happened by accident. There is a ton of counterfeit Master Chalk all over the world, and it is very hard to control. So I keep the flag on the label because I thought if these counterfeiters wanted to copy everything that would mean they would also have to put an American flag on there. Thus making it that much harder for them to get away with copying an American registered trademark and including an American flag! So that's your answer. So the next time someone tells you that the flag chalk is not as good you can educate them as to the real answer and tell them to be proud to be an American! We are! Cheers,Tweeten Fibre Co., Inc

not that this post needs corroberation, but i have a lot of chalk from around 1990 in my collection that i used to "borrow" from the poolhall where i worked. i use it now and then cus sometimes where im at they dont have masters so i pull one of mine out of my case. i have never noticed a single difference, ever with this chalk vs the new and i consider myself very sensitive when it comes to this stuff. what i have noticed though is variance between chalks. ever notice some are harder than other and thus tend to stick around longer?
