Multiplying Billiard Balls. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1930. Group of fourteen finely turned wooden billiard balls painted in various colors, with two red shells. Ten balls and three shells 1 5/8" diam., four 2" diam. With instructions. Light paint chipping to some, but very good overall. Possibly turned by Floyd Thayer himself, who, while primarily the businessman behind the Thayer operation, was a master woodturner and crafted many of the company's specialties - including billiard balls such as these turned from rock-hard maple - for over four decades.
