1890's Table

[Purdman]

Uncovered in an old building. Anybody care to gess the value? I am curious.

Looks pretty similar to our 1890's Brunswick 10x5 snooker table. Is it a snooker table? The rail bolts and pockets look identical to ours. Those rail bolts are a real bit<h to work with!!!

I've been told that our table should fetch between 15K and 25K!!! But, it's in really nice shape as we have put a lot of work into it, new cloth, new poly on the wood, etc... I hope this one turns out to be a gem as well!!!

I think it is the Brunswick Wilmington...but I don't know much, other than the fact that Brunswick was kind enough to put their antiques up on the net for all (that is what they get for building tables that last that long!).

Thanks guys, I don't think I want to sink a bunch of money and time into this one. I will just keep playing on my Gandy Big G.

I don't really care for green mold unless it is in my cheese!!!!

well according to my cyphering

I figured depreciation at a modest five percent per year. I won't bother you with the actual number but if you want to send it to me I will cover half of the shipping.

Did you uncover any old cues???

It's hard to put a price on tables like theese. After someone puts around $700in parts and at least twice that in time/labor costs it could go for somewhere between 3-$12,000 . It's really not worth much as it sits, well it is but nobody is going to pay top dollar for a dirty old table when you could buy a much prettier newer used table for less. However if someone is looking for an older table and they come across one like this restored or not they could easily give you any price you ask so they can end their search and start to restore or play.

I bought one in better shape than that for $900.00 I put rails, pockets, and cloth on it and sold it for 3,500. It was a Brunswick Balke and Collender. It looked like this:

...a Brunswick Balke and Collender. It looked like this:

Nice old table on a beautiful floor ! Am I crazy or is that table in the front hall of a house on a floor custom designed for a pool table ? It looks like a gorgeous room to step into.

A thousand appologies to Mr. Purdman for a minor high-jacques
