Thanks Tim.
I truly believe this is a Wendt table. Now I need to figure out what model.

You may be interested in this. I don't believe anyone has posted this specific link:

The thing about antique tables is this, they are fun to play on & look at. But the old T-Rail won't give you the same banking result that a Gold Crown or Diamond will give you, in your rail play.
How far south of Chicago are you? I can recommend one of the best table mechanics in the country for you to get it setup and the rails rebuilt.
Looks like a Wendt to me with a Brunswick badge on it. I spoke to a nice lady yesterday at Brunswick and she assured me they never produced a table with that leg design.
Jerimy Chambers 708.574.9888 is the way to go. He knows more about antiques tables than anyone you will ever meet. I grew up with him in New Lenox and used to help him move tables.
Very odd that the table in the link I posted is nearly identical to yours ( except yours has net pockets and the link has a ball return ) AND has an identical badge yours has but in almost pristine condition. That tells me there are at least *two* tables, almost identical in make with the identical Brunswick badge on them, but made by Wendt. Seemingly that would mean, somehow, Brunswick was involved in those tables.
I have known him forever and he is one of my best friends. Tell him I said hi.
I think people put Brunswick badges on them to get more money for them when selling them before the internet came along.
