DEAR MIKE, CAN YOU TELL ME ANY INFO OR VALUE FOR THIS SET OF STEEL POOL BALLS I BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO AT A GARAGE SALE FOR $8.00. I HAVE SENT THESE PICTURES TO THE POOL HALL OF FAME WITH NO RESPONSE. I ALSO SENT THEM TO A POOL H.O.F. FRIEND (BOB BYRNE) HE E-MAILED BACK SAYING IN HIS 60 YEARS IN THE GAME HE HAS NEVER SEEN NOR HAS HE MET ANYBODY WHO HAS SEEN HOLLOW STEEL POOL BALLS. I KNOW THAT IN THE MID TO LATE 1800S
AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL FOR POOL BALLS WAS BEING LOOKED FOR (INSTEAD OF IVORY).
ANY INFO OR VALUE YOU CAN GIVE ME IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
THANKS, TOM

I would like to find someone who either has photos or the ball(s) I am looking for in order to put my art work on an old document. It would be really great if a collector had both, but I would settle for photos of either of these balls: I am looking for a Hyatt (circa 1010-17) no. 9 ball as a single stripe and a no. 9 double stripe. Please. I will compensate.
