I have seen a ton of pool tables over the years. In person, in books, and online. Never have I seen a table with pocket irons that flare out at that odd angle. This table has that weird pocket iron angle on the corners & sides.

There is currently 1 corner for sale on ebay and classicbilliards.net sells the bracket.

I picked this up at a local Antique shop this past weekend. They were asking $75 and they took $50 for it. Nice addition to my autographed cue balls & old clay ball collection. Not 100% sure what it is made of but it was advertised as the good stuff.

That is very cool and I would be interested to know if there are any players attending every one of these.

To me, top word appears to be "Tournament"

Thanks, its an old "Better Mass-Made Equipment" table made in Kinston, NC. Have seen around 5 of these over the years. 1" One piece slate.

Nothing crazy but I nice place to knock em' around. I made the bar from a heavy duty pallet.
