Playing on it would be tough enough, what if you had a few drinks? This is from 1906. Notice that our sport was on the front page. Mike

Brunswick was one of the companies producing cues like that. They can still be had on Ebay. Mike

I could be wrong but I beleive the Pool tables are on the other side of the divider. Mike

Perhaps the cat and child were playing with the items under the table. I am not certain if I have a round piece, but I do have square pieces. Mike

Here's a bit of eye candy for the morning. Does anyone remember this room and does a form of it still exist? Mike

I don't remember buying the two prints of the cafe.I will be taking copies of them before having them framed, I'll be in touch. The lights are amazing, I can't imagine what they must weigh. After looking at your print again, I think you have quite the find. A few things that I noticed in it. I...

The images were drawn for a daily or weekly news paper in 1886. This image is titled Le Salon du Grand Cafe Parisien. In another thread I've posted a similar image from another cafe. I believe they are real. I have other images showing very elaborate rooms from that time. At one point in time...

I guess I will be in the minority. I have a 6 x 12 Burroughes & Watts from the 1800's. That's were I'm heading right now. Mike

One more before heading downstairs. Mike

I've come across a couple of more rooms that look interesting. Mike

Just in case you can not read the caption under the pic, it's titled "A Cue Farm". Mike

Does anyone know if this Chicago pool hall was still in business when some our older members started playing? It certainly is not meant as a dig, I'm in the second highest group, in a poll taken in another thread. Mike

Cuebuddy, Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy looking through billiard items. I'm glad to see someone else is posting some "eye candy". I have been going through some boxes of my collection and posting some pics. I posted a room picture similar to this one a few days back.

I think I see him, third table over on the right. Mike

I do not want to depress anyone, but this image gives you a sense of what our sport looked like in the 1800's. I wonder what table time costs were? Mike

I wasn't going to vote, due to being an infrequent poster. This thread is holding its own (good one JoeyA)so here goes. I am 52 and have been playing since I was 14. Mike

I'll make one for $100 and even throw in an authentic Newman, Gleason autograph.:wink: Mike

I would not say this if you were tied to the auction. I would have a hard time paying more than $50-100. I have seen different arrangements of Hustler stills, similar to this, being sold out of Florida. I've collected for 30 years and have numerous pieces from The Hustler. Original Hustler...

I am not certain, but my guess would be between 1961 and 1966 (when he died). My thinking is that after The Hustler came out, numerous billiard items hit the market to capitalize on the pool boom. Mike

I have sent along a pic showing a better view of it. It will pocket balls as long as you aim it towards the near pocket jaw to allow for cling. I have used it when showing ? ball 1/4 ball... I am going through parts of my collection that has been in storage. I'm amazed at the items I've...
