Title: Target balls
Post by: target ball collector on February 19, 2007, 10:32:29 PM

I produce a 50-page newsletter for collectors of target balls, and would be happy to answer any questions regarding these targets from the late 1800s.

Many thanks, Ralph and welcome to GMB.

I know this subject has cropped up many times, and I know Frank, amongst others, has an interest in this subject.

Hi Ralph,

Welcome to the GMB. My interest in these is with regards to those produced by John Moncrieff and I include a small amount of information - including the potential wet location of many examples - and examples on my site.

Do you know of any more colours that were produced than the ones showing here?

As one of the more common varieties, has anyone done a more detailed study?

There are a couple of others that take an interest in these too. See another recent thread

and an old one (Which I see has an unresolved item in it, needs a refresh  :))
