Brunswick Regina antique 100 plus year-old billiard table - for sale

My wife was born in St. Paul where her father owned St. Paul Recreation, which was a big piece of the Twin Cities history. St. Paul. Rec was located under Harkins Bowling Palace at 67-77 Eighth Street in St. Paul, MN. Before Ed Cole owned it, Harry Read her uncle owned the business. I was told this was the largest pool / billiard hall on one floor in the USA.

I understand the billiard table we have is a Brunswick Regina that is from 1920. It has been in our family since it was new. I know Minnesota fats would sometimes practice at this hall with my father-in-law. The table is 10’-1 1/2" long and 5’-5 1/2" wide. I believe the slate is three pieces and they are each 2” thick. According to the label it was built in 1920. We also have a few pieces of memorabilia from the Billiard Hall including the original light, the three balls in the box and some miscellaneous items.

We are moving out of Illinois and we would like to sell this historical table. We are only asking $2,500. The Simonis felt made in Verviers, Belgium is barley used. Bumpers are good. It is located in Illinois 40 miles northwest of Chicago. More photos available.
