I actually didn't know Bakelite never came in white, but it was something I never really thought about.
The exploding billiard balls was something I had heard about when I had a job as a pool table installer. The composition of the balls was never really talked about, the boss always said it was just early billiard balls that could explode on a break or if someone had a hard shot.
I'm curious about the metal race horses and how the game works that uses them. Is it a dice game?
