Clingo Billiard Balls. Los Angeles, F.G. Thayer, Ca. 1925. Set of four 1 5/8" white balls and matching shell for the classic multiplying ball trick. Hand crafted by Floyd Thayer, who was best known for his lathe-turned wooden products, and finished with a concentrically scored pattern approximating the appearance of a golf ball. This design feature allowed the performer a surer grip on the spheres. Paint flaking, otherwise good condition. Uncommon.
