Gandy Big G identification

[jrobin9]

A guy in my area is selling a Gandy table cheap. All he knows is it's a 9' gandy. How can I tell if it's a Big G? I've attached 2 pics he sent. It is also supposed to have a brunswick frame but I think I know enough to identify which type frame just need to see it. Sounds strange but thought if it had a GC frame I might pick it up.

I have a Gandy catalog that is 15-20 years old. The only table in the catalog that has the metal corners is the Big G. So, it seems that is what the table you show, is.

We have two in our Community Center. We had Donny of SD Billiards recover and install new rubber a few years ago. They play great. If he's selling it cheap, by all means buy it, I'm sure you'll like it. Let us know what you decide to do.

Only thing I worried about was the "G" logo. Most Big G tables I found have the logo on Mick56's post. The one I posted is definitely different. It appears as though it's a GC iii frame judging from the description I got from the seller.

I know nothing about Gandy tables... but how can you have a GC frame underneath a Gandy top?

I assume drill holes as required??? the question to me is why. I should clarify the description of the frame I was given is "2 cross bars with sandwiched pieces from from head to foot.

Guy just sent back measurements "sandwiched" pieces 1.5 X 3, cross bars 1.5 x 5, exterior frame 3 x 5. Does that sound right??

The second picture looks like a centennial leg?

I was going to disagree with you until I downloaded the picture and changed the brightness. It sure does look like a Centennial pedestal.
