Have you tried looking at the old Brunswick catalogs? I think they are available through the Brunswick company site although they are on a different site.

Yes I have looked at them on computer there is no mention anywhere of a 6x12 story I got from last owner who had it 25 years is that it came from the officers mess of a Canadian military base so perhaps it was a special order I have no idea and am stumped on it I wish I could post pics

Yes ive seen that thankyou though. It's obviously not a stock size as it's not listed would love to know how many were made in the 6x12 im guessing not many if there is absolutely no info to be found on it cheers

That's interesting because my wife has a 4-1/2 x 9 Royal, same 1926 though about 1929 catalogs, so i've researched it pretty well.
In the 1926 catalog, the 6 x 12 has its own 2 separate pages.
The 4.5 x 9 & 5 x 10 were available in either 4 or 6 legs.
The 6 x 12 shows 8 legs.

In searching I saw a catalog of Custom Tables.
Maybe yours was a special order??

Call up the folks in Clay Center KS.
They'll have something to say about this, I'm sure.

Point being that apparently 6 x 12 was stock item for Royal, (just after your Medalist in the 1926 general catalog).
Suggests that maybe for Medalist (since not in catalog) was custom/special order.

But you can look at the Royal to get ideas - the frames were the same.

You did mention that like Royal 6 x 12, yours has 8 legs?

It's crazy why there are so many antiques in Clay Center. I believe there were several antique billiard equipment dealers up there Now I think it's just Derrick Tiers at Billiard Restorations. I've bought tables from him over the years and have been to his facility and all through is multiple warehouses full of antiques. I was told that Kansas was the billiards capital of the world around the turn of the century having some rooms with more than 100 tables. No clue if that's true but it might answer why so many antiques are there.
