KEEPING IT: YOUR LOSS MY GAIN :grin:
1955-1959 BRUNSWICK SPORT KING 9ft table featuring Simonis 860 cloth, camel in color. Brunswick super speed rails (the monarchs were removed to reduce the pocket openings to 4 1/2 pro cut
The table features brass plated pocket castings, custom rail aprons (or skirts) and a refinish to match factory spec (according to my table mechanic this table has been recovered less than 5 times in its life due to the amazing condition of the slate frames having very little staple marks on them)
All boards have matching serial numbers. The only way I can get the age of this table within a 4 year spread is that this table has formica rail tops which did not come out of Brunswick until 1955, and the brass plated emblem is the one of the stick man with cue which was last seen on Brunswick tables in 1959 as in 1960 all Brunswick tables received the "B" emblem as Brunswick dropped the "Collender" from their Corporate name. This is a true American Made Brunswick, including the slate.
This is the table that is the predecessor of the Gold Crown series of tables in which the 3 piece pinned slate as well as the rails are interchangeable with the Gold Crown. Paul Brienza has hit balls on this table and was impressed with both it's condition as well as the workmanship involved in setting it up. He was checking out my table mechanics work for a possible bid on the room he manages in Las Vegas.
The table light features 4 ballast of 2 Phillips green end 3ft fluoresent bulbs (8 bulbs total) with the light leaving no shadows anywhere on the table. The light is 6ft 10 inches in length, 33 inches wide, and 16 inches high with 3 grids lighting the table.
My table mechanic has some serious credentials: He has an engineering degree from Cornell, and is a master cabinet maker. This man has built custom $20K tables for clients
