Anybody lookin' for a Centennial???

My usual disclaimer applies. I have no affiliation whatsoever outside of this is the guy who sourced my Anniversary for me. I could start a small business with this Centennial and the Anniversary snooker table. :smile:

Just thought you'd enjoy looking at some nice older tables. A bit pricey, but they don't grow on trees. :thumbup:

I saw one of the Orleans tables on a flatbed trailer. Sad story, it had been underwater several weeks following hurricane Katrina, appropriately enough in New Orleans. No idea if it was successfully salvaged or not. It had been placed on the trailer without disassembly, not a good starting sign!

Beautiful table though, I had a case of the hot running wants when I saw it.

I have had two Centennials in the last couple of years and it seemed I had to work my butt off just to sell them!. One was a 4 1/2 x 9 that was in great shape and was Rosewood.

The other was a 5 X 10 Snooker that had only been re-felted twice. This table was also Rosewood and the only issue was one of the legs had a hole in it and someone had done a lousy job on the repair. I finally sold it to a Englishman for a grand. I realize that Snooker is not the preferred game on this side of the drink but the aluminum alone on this beast would of been worth half of what I got.

When it comes to furniture, pool tables, or just about anything else, you can honestly say, "They just don't make em like they used to".

Anybody would be proud to have any of those tables in their house.

Have the King come over and do his trickery with it and you gots nice table.

I got my table from these guys. I wish I could have afforded one of their restored antique tables (I had to settle for a newish A. E. Schmidt), but they start at $10K and go way north of that. They usually gave 60-70 antique tables on hand, but only restore one after a customer decides on one and puts a deposit on it.

They go all out, replacing every missing piece of inlaid marquetry with the correct type of wood and use period correct finishes. Their output is very small, maybe 6-10 tables a year. Someday (sigh).

Anybody who makes it up to Albany, NY should treat themselves to a visit to Don's shop. It's in an old factory building down by the Port of Albany. It's like a billiard museum, with antiques tables stacked up everywhere. Nice guy to talk to as well, and very knowledgeable.
