Rex Williams was indeed a superb player, Mac, unbeatable on his own table in Stourbridge.
I had a few dealings with him in the eighties and nineties and I found him and his brother, Ken, rather rude unfortunately. Perhaps I just caught them at bad times. |

He had an excellent business brain, though, I must admit. Pioneered the game of pool in Britain, a fact for which I'm very grateful.

He may have got grumpy as he got older pokermonster or perhaps different when doing business with. I found him very amicable.
I didn't know he pioneered Pool in UK. He was World Champion in Billiards for a long time. Fair Snooker player too but Billiards was his game. Pool is a great game to play but the skill of the top players is truly magnificent. |

Yes, you're probably correct, sir. In a social setting things are different.

A nice set of early Playboys. These were superseded quite quickly by newer designs, but never bettered.

A set of these Castlemaine XXXX balls, made under licence by Aramith in Belgium, are currently offered on Ebay for £110.00. A tad expensive, perhaps, but they are seldom seen in perfect condition.

The rare examples below (apologies the image is upside down) were recently found languishing in the dark recesses of a warehouse in Mainz, Germany. Being an avid enthusiast, I realised immediately that they were the fabled Raschigs, arguably the most desirable sets for knowledgeable players and collectors alike. The entire consignment was quickly purchased for an absolute bargain of €400.
I'll keep one set for my personal collection and sell the remainder in America for $8,000 to $10,000 (probably nearer the higher figure). Google will confirm this bullish estimate if anyone cares to investigate further. [ This image is no longer available. ] |
