Title: Faball Blue Hammer Serial Number
Post by: dhambleton on April 15, 2013, 03:40:01 PM

I have an old Faball Blue Hammer new in box and have two questions about it....

1. The serial number starts with 00J, but the sticker on the box does say Baltimore, MD. Does anyone know where or what year it would have been made?

2. How much should I ask for this if I'm trying to get rid of it?

Thanks!!!!

Can't find anything out there for J in serial number, though I might be able to find out.

As for price, part will depend on weight and then what someone wants to pay.  While you might have a ball that you feel is worth $300 because it's an original Blue Hammer, not everyone is going to pay that. 

Prime example!!

I realize there may be some differences in weight and pin, etc....but if both are Berry Reactive Razors, they are basically the same ball if close specs.  $270 difference in price??  I also know that one is in Hawaii....but still.
