9 Foot Brunswick 20th Century

I am going to look at a unrestored Brunswick 20th Century. The table needs cloth and bumpers. Do any of you guys know the approximate low/high value of one of these tables?

All depends on the condition of course and when it was actually made. Looks like it was introduced in the late 30's in which case it would probably have the old T Rail (rail bolts through the side of the slate)
IMO this is a better design for Brunswick and a more valuable table although some mechanics won't have the tools to set it up. Bit brace and a special spanner. Around and after WWll they started drilling through the slate vertically and is how they're currently made.

Sight unseen $900 -$3,000 depending on the condition. But I'm not an appraiser. There's not a lot old Brunswicks around anymore, especially with the T Rail design. Rubber and good cloth is only a couple of hundred no biggy.

Thanks for the reply. The table does have wear, but is all there. This table was picked up from a closing pool hall auction in the 1970s and has quite a bit of stark county ohio history, Don Willis played on it.

I would have no immediate goals of restoring it, just rectification for playability. He is also throwing in an antique kino board, as well as some other goodies. I will most likely get it for around $1400.
