Interesting, but 1862?

One photo there shows the label and I think it says Oct 10 1887.
My bud has a similar table that is an 1890-something, but isn't as fancy as this one, with the lion heads
and all that. If put into playable condition, it's the nuts. Thick slate, solid as any table ever.
Buy it, imho.

That's the patent date.One photo there shows the label and I think it says Oct 10 1887.
And they might be the best customer for the table on Craigslist. I imagine their old Brunswick tables sell for $10,000 and more.https://www.billiardrestoration.com/antique-pool-tables/pfister.htm This place does REALLY nice work.
That's the patent date.

That looks like a project.
It also looks like a 5x10. The text in the Brunswick description above says 5x10 is carried in stock but the table can be made in a larger size if requested.
For American pool, 5x10. I have seen a pyramid table, which is sort of a pool table, and I think it was close to 6x12.What's the biggest pool table you have ever seen?(non snooker)
Seller claims the table is from 1867, but the patent dates from 1887. :grin:
