Antique Zanzibar High Grade Clear Ivory Billiard Ball Set (#2)

This is an exceptional #2 set of Zanzibar High Grade billiard balls, dating to the 1880s. During the 19th century, ivory sourced from the Zanzibar region was considered the gold standard for the billiard industry due to its superior density, “clear” consistent coloring, and remarkable durability.

At a substantial size of 2 3/8″, these balls are perfectly suited for the large professional tables of the Victorian era. The “High Grade” designation refers to the selection of the ivory, which offers a uniform grain and a level of playability sought after by the most discerning players and collectors of the “Golden Age.”
