I'm picking this puppy up next week! I can't wait. I drove 8-9 hours round trip to check it out. It's insane how nice it is. Never been restored, good chance this has been in the same house for 50+ years.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks

That's a beauty and probably pretty rare. Have you seen what they look like when you polish out the aluminum? Breathtaking. :thumbup:
 
Centennial

Awesome find, very rare. I have a 9 footer, it plays great, and a real stunning look to it. Enjoy, I know you will!
 
WOWZA. That is boss. Congrats on the find and good luck with it. Get that baby home safely. Johnnyt
 
Simply awesome! I hope you really have room for it so you can enjoy it to it's fullest! Re-sale on these is tough because so few have room for an aircraft carrier in their basement.
 
You could look hard and far and I bet you couldn't find another one in that condition. Johnnyt
 
It looks like the 10 foot table that is in the Hearst Castle in San Simeon on the Central Coast.
 
I've seen this table in a snooker version that was converted to pool. However, it only had 2 leg assemblies with one stretcher. Enjoy. PM me if you are interested in selling.
 
It so good i'm going to leave it as is....for now. Next winter I want to buff the aluminum up and change out the cloth. Thanks for the replies, I've been looking for some time. I looked at a handful of anni's but they needed too much work. I don't have the time to restore a table right now, even the ones that are priced to move.
 
I sold a 10 ft Centennial snooker that was near perfect shape except for a hole in the veneer on one leg not long ago. It had only been recovered twice as far as I could tell. Brazilian rosewood and gorgeous but it did not have the center leg.:cool:
 
I am drooling uncontrollably, and am insanely jealous, as that has always been my dream table, and the tables I grew up playing on.
I have wanted a 10' Centennial for more years than I care to remember, since the room I use to play in that had them, closed.

Congrats! May you get many years of great pool on it!

By the way, do you know what year it was made?
 
Congratulations on finding a true beauty. Good luck and have fun. An outstanding table. Oh, thanks for posting the pics.
 
Thanks everyone, I can't wait. All the nine footers that I found are on the west coast. When I found this one, I started to do more research on how many Brunswick made...I knew they made a 10', but not with three legs. I searched for hours and hours on the web trying to get more info, but had very little luck.
I don't when it was made, just that its been in the family fo 35+ years. They bought it when they moved into the house, so who knows if the person that owned the house prior was the original purchaser of the table. I tell ya, its crazy how good it is. I'll post more pics when I pick it up.
Thanks again!

I have the nine foot version. The aluminum had a paint coating with some sort of clear coat that only TAL Strip 2 (Canned Alien Blood :)) would take off. Why I'm saying this is, be carefull what you do to the original coating. It's a pain in the a$$ and alot of manual work to completely strip and buff to a shine. If it's in good condition, I recommend to leave as is.

By the way, it's the best table ever made.

Good luck finding a date stamp. The only thing close to a date I could find on mine was on the edge of the slate.

You definitley don't have one of the earliest ones because your long rails are 2 piece (Due to the presence of a side pocket casting). Once you get the rails off you can narrow the date further by identifying the nut plate type. 3 hole nut plates were first, then the 5 hole followed by the figure 8 nut plate.

The manufacturer numbers are usless. The story I got was all the documentation was destroyed in a fire.

EDIT:I pasted the wrong link. Atlarge posted the correct one below.
