Antique boule, pétanque balls of wood, studded with screws and stunning patina!
The balls are no longer suitable for playing, for that the over 100 year old wood is too dry and would split.
But as decorative objects they are really beautiful ... especially if you have different balls.

The pairs have been color coded. I offer them as PAIRS with 2 balls or as a whole SET of 6.

Dimensions:
Ø about 10 cm I 3.94"
Weight about 447 g I 0.985 lbs

Condition:
Sensational authentical condition - no cracks in the wood, no screw missing!

It is THE GAME of the French and there is no place where you can not see a few old men playing.
The wooden bullets were replaced by the usual metal bullets from the 1920s and were only in use for about 70 years.
The collage shows the different nail types.

Background information about Boule, Pétanque:
In the narrower sense, the term "Boule" (from French la boule "the ball", "the ball") or Boule game only briefly for the ball sport "Boule Lyonnaise", the so-called "sports boule".
In Germany, however, "Boule" (as well as the word "Boccia") is colloquially used more as a collective name for all ball sports, as well as in this article. In addition to the already mentioned "Boule Lyonnaise", the ball sports also include the "Jeu Provençal" derived from it, its offshoot "Pétanque", the British "Bowls" and the Italian "Boccia" (also called "Raffa"). In addition to these five "official" ball sports, there are other regional sports or ball games that have similar rules, such. Boule-en-Bois, Boule-de-Fort, Boule-des-Berges and Boule bretonne.
With "Boule" many Germans connect but also by the French in public places discharged leisure ball game. The correct name for this is however "Pétanque". With around 600,000 license players in 76 (national) pétanque associations, it is the most widely used ball sport. (Source: Wikipedia)
