Mostly B'wicks. Carom table is 5x10.What were quality vintage brands of Carom tables that were used in the US or Canada?
Did Brunswick make quality Snooker and Carom tables?
Dufferin made tables or had someone make them for them. See them for sale on-line fairly often. B'wick made 6x12 Gold Crowns for the Can. market. Only seen one and it was modified just to play golf on. Duff for sale: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-toys-games/oakville-halton-region/dufferin-snooker-table/1593745369I only ever played on B'wick snooker tables. Not by choice. That's just what every room had in them.
By "were around", how long ago do you mean?Im curious what were good 12' snooker tables that were used in Canada and the US?
Also what Carom tables were around? Also whats the general size of a carom table? Are they 10'
I was thinking 60's , 70's. if a person was looking at picking up a good used snooker or carom table what brands to look at or stay away from?By "were around", how long ago do you mean?
Brunswick had a near monopoly back in the 1930s for carom tables. Look up pictures for "Kling pool table" for what the high-end ones look like.
Since 1970 or so, I think the majority of new carom tables in the US rooms are imported. Gabriels, Verhoeven, Jimar, Søren Søgaard, Breton are some of the brands. All are 10'. Korean rooms have smaller tables that are for four-ball billiards and maybe some 10-foot tables. I think "Min" is a major Korean brand now.
I'd stay away from Brunswick Carom tables newer than early 40's. If it's not a T-Rail, don't even think about it.I was thinking 60's , 70's. if a person was looking at picking up a good used snooker or carom table what brands to look at or stay away from?
