Purple skull, nine ball helmet, and a straight-faced grin that never relaxes.

This scooter helmet billiard ball skull on a wood base, red 3 ball is from France, and dates to the 20th century. It is resin. In the common American pool set the 3 ball is solid red, and the numbered balls are distinguished by color so that players can tell them apart at a glance. Deep violet skull with carefully shaped teeth, framed by a rounded helmet with a cream circle and a bold black nine. It stands on a slim stem over a dark, turned base. The finish is shiny with small flecks missing. It is 4 inches high and 2 in diameter.
