Yes these pockets appear to have the screw holes. This table does not have the stretcher between the legs. I believe that was introduced later on the D-C model. How is the stability of your table assuming you have early model also?

Sure, I’ll get more pics up of the slates and slate frames. Yeah I am still unloading everything, carefully got the frame and slates over to my storage. I’ll try to post more pics tomorrow.

Thanks! I haven’t unloaded the slates yet, just got the table home late last night after 10 hour round trip. Some of the slate framing was loose on the back I think they will have to be rebuilt as part of the restoration. But the slates were all in one piece nothing broken.

I recently got in contact with a family that was looking to sell a Brunswick Centennial pool table. The table had originally been purchased and used in Chicago. This table was in the same family since the 1940’s. The original owner worked with the Ziff-Davis publishing company. The family...

I got to clean them up but definitely I have seen a lot of older pictures and the older catalogs that show the tables with red pockets and they appear to be definitely period correct in terms of the condition of the rubber

Hi all, just curious if any mechanics know why some of the old Centennial or Anniversary tables had red rubber drop pockets? Was this just an option or did this mark the table during certain years of production? I recently got a very early Centennial table that came with the original, appear to...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has information on these old red or brownish colored cue balls with small black diamond? I think I’ve heard in the past that Brunswick sold these as a cue ball that would be used on the break as a break ball? I have 2 of them now, came with 1940s era tables, so...

I’m interested, PM sent

I’m having the digital photo enlarged close to poster size and professionally framed, it’s a fantastic insight into pool history and San Francisco history! I love the Centennial carom table! Few pictures of my 10x5 Centennial. Looking to get a Centennial carom also for restoration.

Thanks Bob! Appreciate it

Hi Bob, I am looking for a copy of that top photo. I saw Hi Bob, I’m looking for a copy of this picture with everyone around the Centennial. Do you happen to have a copy for sale? I saw the picture in Grissim’s book Billiards and have been looking for a copy for my collection. Thanks

Hi Sir, I would like to buy this photo if you happen to have it still? I found this thread researching this photo. Please let me know if you still have it? Thanks!

That thing is pretty nice. What do you mean Hoppe cue? It’s not a Brunswick conversion is it? I don’t know this cue maker? What’s he comparable to?

Yeah that’s the thing, even if I see what I believe to be a foul if my opponent in good faith doesn’t call it on himself, I’m going to have pool etiquette and not make an argument not make a big deal out of it. Normally the set won’t come down to one shot. What I have a problem with is a guy...

I agree that’s what you Gotta do and most the time your opponent would not argue with you either way if you don’t see it or have someone else watch it when you have an opportunity.

Let me know if you need any help step by step in getting it restored or reach out to me if you ever decide to sell it. Here’s a few more pics of mine.

Mark Gregory did all the rail work, 10' table, the corners are 4.5" and the side pockets are 4.75" as good as it looks, it plays even better! Can't recommend Mark highly enough, he does amazing work.

Well my point is, I don’t think it’s good pool etiquette to call fouls like this. Call an observer to come watch the shot. Peoples’ eyes can be deceiving, who’s to say if the cue ball actually was traveling faster than the object ball. How close were they watching the 2 balls? That’s what I...

Well my point is he wasn’t watching the shot or having someone watch it, from his chair suddenly he became a physicist and knew exactly how fast the balls were going and what angle
