Well the Brunswick site says 13' 10" x 18' for that size table. I have been shooting for something in the 15x20' size to be on the safe side. It seems that from the houses I have been looking at I either get a great room in that size with a fireplace in it or an upstairs extra room in an...

I have a couple of questions regarding tables in houses. My parents are passing their table on to me when I graduate college soon and I want to make sure I select a house that will be appropriate. The table is a brunsick circa 1870-1880 4.5x9" table. I want to make sure that I take good care of...

Got that in an e-mail today from the guys at billiardrestoration.com. Amazingly enough, they are only about 3 hours from where the table is at. Kinda interesting that someone so knowledgeable is so close. Still working on the history of where it came from, but it helps that I know what it is now.

I am working on getting some more pictures and hopefully finding the rest of the rails. If that time frame is correct, then I also need to look for the skirts and see if we still have them. Unfortunately the table is two hours away from me so I am having to have my father look at things for me...

Well It would definately make sense if it was a Brunswick table as the stories I have heard of it is that it came out of a bar in downtown chicago. Brunswick had sales offices open in chicago as of 1848. They also changed to the Brunswick-Balke company in 1873 so my guess is that would put the...

more picures Here are more.

more pictures here are some more pictures of the table as requested. I know the condition it is in is a shame, but I have no way of changine it at the moment.

I think the rails bolt in through the slate but I am not certain. I will have my dad look at it at some point and also try to get a measurement on it. The rails are not currently configured to be a snooker table. They have standard angle cut corners on them. The rails are covered right now as...

Well this looks like as good a place as any. Hope you don't mind if I join you since I am a newbie as well. Might as well intorduce myself as well. I currently live in the southeast kansas area while I am attending school and I try to play any chance I get. It gets a little difficult with...

I do have more pictures of the table, I am somewhat hessitant to post them, because I am embarrased to show the tables current condition. This table has been in our family for quite some time and it means a lot to me. I have been playing now for about 15 years on and off and every time I play a...

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a table that has been in my parents basement for years. I know it needs restored, and once I get a house I can fit it in that is one of the first things on my list of things to do. I have not been able to measure the table since there is stuff on...

just needed to see if I could post a picture or not.
