three foot cue extension needed !!, Great Table !!
As others have already said ... that is a real beauty, Side Pocket. Thirty five years ago or so when I lived back in NY a buddy of mine had an aunt that had a table like that in an empty house she was trying to sell. We would go over every Saturday morning and play all day long. Enjoy it ... it is the real deal! :thumbup:
Thats a beautiful table for sure. It looks almost exactly like the 2 that Jimmy Cattarano had in his place on Queens Blvd, except there were ball returns on his. The balls used to come down and bounce in the basket with a loud thump when you pocketed them in the farthest corner pockets, lol.
Lots of luck with it and i hope you never sell it. :thumbup:

My buddy helped me set the frame up and set the slates on the frame.
Then I ended up tackling the leveling of the slates, the seames, recovering of the table/rails, and the final assembly. Here are some progress pics.

This one really has me curious. I have never seen a Brunswick with a steel frame. Is this a Kim Steel frame under Brunswick skirts or did Brunswick make this and I just never heard of it?
Beautiful table, Side. Think of all that has happened in the world since that table made it's first appearance back in the, "Roaring Twenties." :smile:

Brunswick Sterling Steel Frame Table
Great table...
Wish I had the room for a 5' x 10' table, there's some really great tables out there, few people have the room.
I have a 4 1/2 x 9 Anniversary that came out of a private home, recovered once, it is rock solid!
Your table is a Brunswick Sterling Steel Table, had a opprotunity to pick one up years ago, was told the assembly / leveling could be tricky.
Looks like your table had a ball return, who placed a MOP sight in the middle of the BBC name plate, if it were me would change that.

PS, I know everyone talks about a Diamond Table how great they are, had the opprotunity to see them up close, great design but, will they stand up to time 90+ years from now, goes to show you your Brunswick built in the early 20's still going strong.
Thanks for sharing,

Table
I will have to say that I have never seen a brunswick antique table with the steel construction. That table is a gem, I'm curious how the slate attached to the steel frame originally?
You and your friend did a great job on that table, you had to of got the simonis DVD to get the results you got on the cloth install unless one of you are highly experienced with pool tables and the installation of them, not just anyone could of figured that table out.....unless a guy in a box truck pulling a oddly looking trailer stopped by for dinner....:wink:
What was used to attach the cloth to the slate?
Those T- rails can be a real pain to recover especially with simonis cloth. You have one hell of a good friend that offered his helped'
Are the cushions original to the table? Where did u acquire suck a hidden treasure?
Thank you
