The world's first One-Pocket table !

Its about 100years old. AE Schmidt table if I remember right.
Edit: Just read the whole thread. Someone says it was a Monarch I really don't remember ever playing on a Monarch anywhere. I have played on Brunswick tables where the nameplate said Monarch Cushions. But I haven't been in the joint for at least 25 years. My memory is failing for sure.
This is about the style I remember. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=130370

The Huffmans used to own the Golden Cue, turned to the Green room, right across the
street from OK Billiards then sold and opened up J-town. Sad to see that place shut down
but heard the tried their hand a a second location and could not make it happen.When I
lived there I never heard it called 'corners' but they refer it as short end one pocket. Great
game remember Ronnie Oxford running racks at 'corners'.

It's a Brunswick. You may be right about the cushions. :smile:

Good Lord. Did you know that I met Ronnie, two weeks before his passing.
I was in the OK watching four guys play on the Corners table. Ronnie walks up to me, introduces himself, and asks about my cue.
I tell him that I had made it. He asks if I know Jim Barclay, I say yes, we've met, and I spend the next two hours listening to Joplin pool stories. What a character. When I left we shook hands, and I told him it had been a pleasure to have made his acquaintance. And it was.
I'm glad his memory is still alive. :smile:
This one is, Strickland and Appleton are going to play a $10,000 match on a table with no side pockets though.
