It's crazy why there are so many antiques in Clay Center. I believe there were several antique billiard equipment dealers up there Now I think it's just Derrick Tiers at Billiard Restorations. I've bought tables from him over the years and have been to his facility and all through is multiple warehouses full of antiques. I was told that Kansas was the billiards capital of the world around the turn of the century having some rooms with more than 100 tables. No clue if that's true but it might answer why so many antiques are there.

An old pool room in Memphis. They don't have it on the floor these days, but I'm pretty sure it's in storage.

If you are able to check into it, please try to remember to inspect what wood is used in the rails.
Brazilian rosewood would have been correct for a Medalist or any of the top tier 3 cushion or pocket pool tables at that time.
The OP's table does not have RW. So a question that occurs to me is, did the factory provide and convert it (likely, since 12' was apparently not a regular catalog option for anyone else to convert). Or was it the case that snooker tables did not get RW rails?
