Cheers, Mr J.
Did you try out the image posting thing, sir?

I don’t disagree with the inhumane aspect of acquiring ivory billiard balls.Good evening, Mr J.
I did notice that thread, dear chap, but afraid this is an instance where I cannot help.
My personal sphere of interest and expertise is restricted to pool balls made during my lifetime... 1969 onwards. For financial reasons if nothing else I realised early on that it would be necessary to draw the line somewhere and that seemed as good a place as any to begin.
The other thing, sir, is that I find any sort of ivory trading to be absolutely abhorrent. Hand on heart, I wouldn’t have any in my collection for a million dollars. It is a matter of sincere shame and sadness to me that my fellow countrymen were once responsible for killing 8,000 magnificent elephants per year simply to make billiard balls. I find it deeply upsetting and wish all ivory trading was banned today, not just the post 1947 items.
Apologies for the rant, Mr J. I know not everyone shares my sentiments and try my best not to lecture anyone.
Best wishes, sir.
They have flats on them? That's the weirdest set of "balls" I've ever seen. Shouldn't even call them balls, they are more like dice.Good morning, everyone.
Here’s a rather unusual French set of hybrid pool balls. Poker Billard Le Jeu Ludique (The Fun Game).
