I would like to have any input on what these are and what vintage they would be. The original box is missing. They are more yellowed than the pictures tell so they are fairly old. Thank you!

Cool, Thank you. The colors are kind of different would that help date them?
 
As pointed put, older Brunswick Centennials. The smaller rounded darts date these to late '60's, early '70's. I've got a set as well with the original cue ball. I think mine were hardly played.

Your two ball and six ball are very strange. Supposed to be blue and green, but they almost look like the same color. Maybe camera anomaly.

All the best,

Looks like Centennials from 70s. Cue ball is not native to that set and looks from 2000 to present.
 
The colors are very good in the pics. that what was really interesting to me. I have never seen them. They are much more yellowed from age though than the pics show.
 
Other than the cue ball, which looks newer, I’m pretty sure these are early Aramith Centennials.
I gave an Aramith snooker set to a friend who played at a legion...they had never been used...
..been sitting in the box for about 10 years...it was hard to tell the green 3-ball from the blue 5-ball.
If you use them for a while..actually quite a while, the colors will come back, and the yellowish parts
will turn white again.
 
Thank you, I was told they were Aramith balls but I honestly did not know they had ever made Centennials. so I was thinking
strange set of Brunswicks. Does 60's 70's still seem right? since they will be up for sale, does anyone know what price range
would be appropriate?
Thank you all very much.

Jay, I have seen discoloration like this, can be caused by sunlight or improper cleaning. Definitely a mixed set. I would say $100. Here's a completed listing of a well used set on ebay.

Thank you Tate, I hope you're doing very well. I truly appreciate all the help and information from you all.
Thank you everyone. Look for them in the for sale section soon.

Something is off with the 14 ball and maybe the 15 too, likely replacements at some point. I'd give them a good cleaning and see better what you actually have.
 
So in person these all appear to be aged the same. the patina certainly matches on everything but the cue ball. and the Darts all match perfectly. So if the two and the six came from a different set, then can anybody show me another set of Centenials with the unusual balls that this set has? I'm convinced they all go together but After scouring the Google I can't find any other set like it. so those being "donor balls" would be even less likely because where would they come from? Does anybody else have a set with these two odd colored balls? The camera really made the patina look different but it is not at all.

Look at the 15 ball and the other balls. The rings and darts are different thicknesses
 
It looks like it

in the picture but not in person. I noticed in the picture posted by rexus31 the 1 2 10 and 15 rings all appear completely
different also the 10 and 13 looks translucent in the centers. I bet not in person though. Anybody ever seen thees 2 and 6 ever before? got pics?
They are clearly very unusual and so far unexplained even if every ball was from a different set.
