Unknown Ebonite Ball (Help Identify)
« on: January 22, 2006, 05:49:36 AM »
Someone e-mailed me trying to sell it to me. They don't know weight, I didn't think to ask the color. They say the only thing on the ball is "Ebonite". It is used, and I'm assuming it's older as it came with a house they recently bought and was found with 2 Maxims. Any ideas?

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.

Without Color it would be nearly Impossible to do anything but guess.

There are that many types of balls made by ebonite without the name of the ball on them?

So it says ebonite and it is I'm guessing round. That narrows it a lot. lol

Maybe it is an old "Ebonite", yes there was a ball that all it had on it was "Ebonite". Back in the days of Rubber.

Ah yes, when those kids started using that new fangled urethane! Thanks everyone, but they haven't messaged me back. I think they were offended when I suggested that if they throw them out, they conceal them well enough that the trash man doesn't know what's in the bag. ;-)

Without a doubt, it has to be a Matrix Trimax III
