Here..

The issues with these sets are Hyatt was in decline when these sets were produced. So the numeric field border in some sets disappear, some are not in the center of the field. So the trick is getting a very pretty set, one that has all the centering, borders, everything in place, and not too yellowed from age.

Here are some reference pics...

I remember those old clay balls, but I've alway wonder being made of some sort of hardened clay substance why is was they would never chip or crack after being used for a period of time.

Are these clay or ivory? I've actually heard one of the prime motivators for the development of plastics was to replace ivory in billiard balls.

As far as I know they were made from clay or something of a similar substance. The old timers used to call them "mud balls"

I sold my last original set of Romanique II’s with a perfect condition box for $500 a couple years ago.
