RE: for sale TARGET BALL (size)

Well it's 2 5/8 round, it's the size of a tennis ball.The thickness of the glass is hard to judge it's pretty lightweight,maybe an once..so it can't be but about 1/8 inch thick

Is the color in your pic off? To me it looks like its amber. I could only find one that looked like it but it makes no mention of the X on the bottom. It's an american target ball and would probably sell for anywhere's between $75 to $100 bucks. I'd put it on ebay and set my reserve at $80. Who know's it may do better then that. Swizzle

I wish that was an offer but I don't have that kind of cash to throw around. I'd be lucky to be able to offer you $50 bucks on a good day and unfortunately its not a good day. There is a lot more people out there that specialize in collecting target balls. I think your best bet would be ebay. I got lucky and bought a target ball at a junk sale for a $1 last year and it sold for $103. After shipping and insurance I made about $92 on it. That was an american 5 piece mold in light amber. Good luck selling it. I wish I could offer you more but today I'm only good for about $20 bucks. Swizzle
