Forget about the museums. I’m taking a tour of Blatt’s Billiards. The pictures are from Blatt’s website.

I went there once about 20 years ago. Awesome place.

That GC in white looks pretty good

They do complete rebuilds of Gold Crown's that are pretty special. Not cheap by any means but the results are something else. 12-15K for a soup-to-nuts rest-o-mod.

I took that tour a few years ago. I can't remember the name of the gentleman that showed me around (Jesse maybe). I had been to both the older location and the new spot. It was cool to see.

Have fun on your tour!

I like the limited edition white GC4's
I like the one I customized for a gentleman in Lexington KY! He saw it on their site and figured he would ask. We used Solicore White Formica w/ Paua abalone inlays for the sights.

Blatt Billiards is like a trip into the past. It should be a national landmark

Yup, Blatt's is like a museum. Before Blatt Billiards moved out of Greenwich Village, Ronnie Blatt gave a private guided tour of their inventory warehouse to me and Allison Fisher. Suffice it to say we were both blown away by what we saw.

I had a great weekend in NY. BLATTS was a part of that. I did play a few racks on the Monarch in the showroom. They should be in the Billiard HOF.
There is a Centennial upstairs that is absolutely amazing. Selling for about $36,000

Well thank you very much! I love what I do and am super blessed with awesome clients who are interested in making unique projects come to fruition! Here is a link to all of my Brunswick restoration photo albums: https://www.facebook.com/pg/toledopooltables/photos/?tab=albums&ref=page_internal
Thanks again for the kind words and have a great day!

Happy you had fun at Blatts Frank! I am going to have to make the trip sometime when I am in the area.

You will like their place. Also I’m sure they would appreciate the visit and to meet/get to know you.
Nice FB page. I’m admiring your table work.
