    Found these numbered balls that appear to be made of clay but not sure. Does anyone have any idea what they are? There are a few that don't appear to have ever had a number. Thanks for any help. cl 028.jpg cl 029.jpg cl 031.jpg

    Just a guess.

    Not a chance they are snooker - way too small. Try Bingo - Tombola - Housey Housey!

    Snooker balls are not numbered.
    Could be from miniature 9 Ball game.

    Not billards as they are not solids and stripes. That's why I suggested Snooker.
    I see what might be a "Cue" ball. Solid whitish one - not numbed.

    Cue ball even :hilarious:

    Wrong colours for snooker.
    1 white, 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Brown, 1 Blue, 1 Pink, 1 Black, and 15 Reds
    No numbers.

    It's been nearly 50 years since I used to hang out in pool halls. Played snooker a few times. Don't remember the specifics.
    Commented off the top of my head.

    Did you start playing at the club or the Loukee? (Loukee = Lucania, Brit snooker parlours and dens of ill repute according to my parents:D)
