What exactly is a "paper reinforcements"? 🤔

The Premiums are the same however the numbers are slightly different and bolder.

Those are Aramith Premieres. Been sold for a long time so there's nothing special about them. . Good quality, better then Crowns, a step below Premiums and 2 steps below Super Pros.

A facing is a slice of rubber applied to both ends of each rail cushion. There are different types of facings however they are all a rubber material and generally black in color. And just an fyi, the correct terminology is cushions - not bumpers. 🙃

Were the rails recovered when setup in your home? Some of those pockets seem to look like there's no facing on the rails.

The profile is A48 or #48. Measure the back side of the cushion which should be 1 1/16" I think you can get a set of cushions at Classic Billiards or Muellers

This may help you - cushion measurements you can also measure the subrail where the cushion was attached.

What a great idea :cool:

The bottom side don't look like 860 either. You should send these pics to Seyberts for resolution.

I personally would not try to recut the featherstrip slots. When you get the new strips test fit them with a piece of cloth. Should be snug. As for glue for the cushions you can get a quart of 3M-10 Scotchgrip which works good and is readily available.

Some are rectangular and some have a rounded edge side. You can use either.

No Basswood featherstrips are typically 1/4" x 5/16" . Easy enough to get a set of 6 at many sources online.

You will probably have to get a complete cloth package (bed and rails). Wherever you get your cloth from make sure to SPECIFY that the rails should be cut for a carom table. You should get 3 rail pieces, 2 for the long sides and 1 you cut in half for the ends.
