AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Saint-Martin – True Blue Chalk – Old box with 10 chalk blocks – Paris
Old box of “True Blue Chalk Saint-Martin,” originating from the Saint-Martin Parisian Manufacture, Paris.
This historic brand produced chalk for billiard cues, used to improve grip during play.
The box bears the original inscriptions:
“True Blue Chalk Saint-Martin – Monopoly of the Saint-Martin Parisian Manufacture – Made in France.”
It contains 10 blue chalk cubes of origin out of the original 12, still in their vintage printed outer packaging in very good condition.
These chalks were widely used in billiard rooms and European cafés during the first half of the 20th century. Today, sets kept with their original advertising box have become relatively rare.
The set makes a beautiful collectible related to the world of antique billiards, but also an interesting example of early 20th-century French advertising packaging.
The intense blue colors of the chalk and the old typography of the box give this set a remarkable decorative and historical presence.
