Title: this shurr is perdy...
Post by: WSUstroker on April 22, 2005, 01:59:23 PM: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20848&item=7151360668&rd=1 This is a pretty nice looking ball, although $110 is more than I would spend for a spare ball.

the 'original' ones did. There were also a bunch that looks similar and didn't have the gold specs I believe. The one with gold leaf is probably worth a lot of money now undrilled.

Unless of course you're a "collector" and this is a "must have" item to complete your collection.

Geez, using logic on us like that. You know, I wonder if Brunswick would be able to tell the year of the ball and if it was "the" gold crown jewel based on the serial number.

Post by: Verbs on April 22, 2005, 10:45:00 PM: While it is a cool looking plastic ball, based on the label engraving, this ball was produced in the early 80's.

Brunswick used the name "Crown Jewel" from the 1960's through the early 80's.

Brunswick started using the "flush" engraving in the early 80's (1982 or 1983). This ball has the flush engraving.

Sorry to disappoint.

Back then, it hooked about 5 or 6 boards. If I had one now, it would make a great spare ball.
