Does anyone know anything about "Goldtek" cushions?

Hard Knock Cues

Well-known member
I'm fixing up and recovering tables at a place that has 10 tables . 6 out of 10 are Brunswick Anniversary's from 1945 +/-
I'm on the 5th anniversary and the cushions seem older and have the Goldtek name, they're kind of yellowish\peach color. I did do a search but didn't find much.

So I'm wondering what year they might be from, thinking they are probably not original. They still have life to them and rebound pretty well.
Thanks in advance for indulging my curiosity.

I don't think those are original. Those tables would have had Brunswick Monarch SuperSpeed cushions originally.
Thanks I was figuring the same thing.

Just hoping to learn something about the Goldtek. They seem to be fairly old and still play well.
That box looks like some snooker balls I picked up off ebay awhile ago but the Goldtek sticker/label was gone.
 
I had palmer Goldtek cushions on the gandy I was recovering. Literally no info on them. For the price I just replaced with tawainese (MBS) cushions. If I had a GC would have paid for super speed but for this gandy, MBS will suffice.
 
My Steepleton (34 years old) came with Goldtek cushions. When we had the table recovered last year the mechanic told us that they were still good. Was told that at the time my table was built Steepleton used either Goldtek ( a good quality cushion) or another brand that was not a good quality. Lucked out and had Goldteks.

Steepletons were great tables back in the day. Our local hall had both Brunswick and Steepleton T-rail tables from the 30's and 40's. The front table was a 1930ish Steepleton with walnut rail caps and bell shaped legs like a Brunswick Kling, and it was an awesome table, other than the pockets being too big I thought it was actually better than the Brunswicks we had in there. The Brunswicks were Challengers I do believe.
