I'm not sure of the model of this table. Does anyone recognize the model?
Table identification

- Start date
Looks pretty generic....from the 30s?....side mounted (T-rails)....
..I see the name plate is missing....no faint indentation of the maker?
...take a flashlight and look at the bottom of the slate for writing......
...or better yet, wait for RKC or Mr Bond to notice this thread.
I've played on many old Brunswicks that looked like that.

slate
So most/all slate will have dates stamped on them? If so, should it be on outer perimeter of the slate?

I don't know much about that....but I've bought and sold a few old tables....
...sometimes an installer will write something on it.....with a date.
....stamps will be more likely on wood parts.
I bought an Anniversary where the mechanic had signed it with a date...1958...
....I assume he was the first one.
Or me...
Looks like a Madison - They had pin stripe inlay. I can't tell for sure if it is there
in the pic. Many old tables have lost the original veneer.
From the 1924 Catalog.
Disclaimer. In those days there were many companies making tables that
looked similar. If it is a Brunswick there should be one or more printed labels
identifying it.

I had a similar table...couple that pocket size with shallow shelves and you better not try to slow roll the cb near the holes.
Coz it will be bih for the other guy.
McDermott D23. I bought it back in the 80's, and she's still sweet.
Yep, they were pretty generous with the pocket openings back then.

Thanks, I'll keep looking for a name, but the name plate was missing when I bought it many years ago. There's a production # on the slate that matches the # on the rails. But I haven't seen a name yet. It does look similar to the Madison. Maybe the pin strips varied a little.
I bought it in late 1991 or early 1992. I may sell it one day. Until then, I try to treat it right, and it treats me good.
Looks a bit like a Wendt as well, because the inlay pattern isn't quite the same as the Madison. (Around the same age as the Brunswick would be)
Can you take a pic of the pocket, looking into it?
Wendt pocket irons have a very specific and identifiable shape to them.
Does it have a ball return?
Brunswick ball returns are all patented, so a patent record can, in some cases, can tell you who built it.

I like the wall treatment.
Very basic.

Looks like drop pockets.

It has drop pockets. I will attach a picture of one for you. I have them off the table right now, so please forgive the duct tape. I just have it on them temporary. Thanks for your help. If you need more information, I will try to get it.

Thank you very much.
Yes, you are correct.
I looked at it again right after I posted and did the forehead slap - doh!
