Gnome Punter Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Did Peltier make billiard balls for miniature pool sets ? Such was implied but I am unsure if I find it truthful in-relation to what I have as mine are clay and I have some that are stone. Did Pelt make clay pool balls ?

lstmmrbls Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Peltier made glass items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Peltier made glass items. I know this. A comment was made that they made clay pool balls. Sounded like BS to me,but not silly enough to not ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venwood Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have a miniature pool table that came with Akro 3/4 corkscrew marble called Spanish Marbles on label on bottom of table also came with 3/4 white moonies all in a bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Punter Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have a bunch with numbers on them like a pool set. But they are mk and peewees I will find out what these are and where from eventually. Most I see have lines or circles where the numbers are. These have a star style pattern that may help me differentiate them from others and helping, at least I hope, me narrow down a maker and date.

ann Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I don't know about Peltier. Mike (migbar) would know about that, if anyone does. But I do know that Akro produced pool balls -- there are glass formulas specifically for pool balls in Henry Hellmer's batch book. Looks like they were for export, best as I remember. (I'll check tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 OK, I checked, although not too deeply. A few formulas have the notation "Used for pool balls" next to them ((greenish blue, royal blue, navy blue, turquoise blue) while others (more) have "For export and pool ball marbles" (turquise blue, green, lavender). Hellmers was pretty precise in all of his notations, so it may be significant that he seems to distinguish "pool balls" from "pool ball marbles." Were full-sized pool balls ever made from glass? Not something I know anything about . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
