Antique Miscellaneous Ivory Billiard Balls (c. 1880s)
This collection of antique ivory billiard balls dates to the 1880s, representing the primary material used for high-stakes play during the 19th-century “Golden Age” of the game. These vintage pieces were prized for their unique density and natural grain, which provided a level of control and playability that synthetic alternatives of the era could not replicate.
The set includes a variety of sizes, ranging from 2″ to 2 3/8″, making it an excellent resource for restorers needing to match specific historical table requirements or for collectors of Victorian-era gaming artifacts. Given their age and material, these pieces serve as an excellent investment for those documenting the evolution of billiard equipment.
