Good afternoon, my father passed away a few years back and I inherited my grandfathers V.Loria & Sons pool table. I know very little about it but have been told it’s around 100 years old and came out of an old pool hall (most likely on long island). It was professionally disassembled in 2019 when we moved and has been wrapped up in pieces in our storage unit ever since.
The only photo I can find of it assembled is probably 20 years old and not great.
It has leather pockets and a wooden ball return gulley. The slate is pretty thick ( they weigh an insane amount. My best guess would be over 200lbs) It’s in need of a full restoration I believe. When it was last together the felt was all torn up.
My main issue is that I really want to keep it but do not currently have anywhere to put it. My mother wont be paying the storage fees anymore and it’s not too feasible for me to pay $100+ a month to store it.
I would really love some information on my table in general just to get an idea of what I have, how special it might be (besides sentimental value), what model it is, how old it might be stuff like that.
I would also be interested to know what I can do with something like this. I really don't want to get rid of it but if it comes down to it I might have to so I would really like to know how to do that, how much it’s potentially worth, is there a market for it ( I am in South Florida)
I can try to provide more information if needed.
Thank you for any and all help!
