NOTE: Some or all of these balls could very well be from major events and/or used by important players and from "famous" donors. Many of the Helms pieces were unidentified with their source information having been lost through the years. However, through photo analysis we were able to prove things that previously unidentified by Helms to be very important artifacts. Do your own research and you may have some real treasures here. There will be a complete list of the marked balls on the internet portion of the sale.
