Antique Brunswick info needed.

[Jason Koopman]

I am looking for a colored picture of a 6 legged Brunswick Alexander Balk Collender (spelling?) circa 1900-1910 for a friend. I have already e-mailed brunwick as well. Any help from my AZ friends would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason.

Are there any pics of the table that can be posted up, as I suspect that some of the table mechanics may recognise it and be able to shed some more light on it

Also, it'll be worth while posting this thread in here as well :- http://forums.azbilliards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54

I hope this helps in some way or another buddy, good luck :thumbup:

There are lots of pictures on the Brunswick site. You can Google Images for lots of pics too.

I checked their site, but was unable to find anything for this specific table.

I had seen the Alexandria table on the site, but my friend informed me that it was called "alexander" Perhaps between him and the potential seller there was a misunderstanding.

If I had the room for a table, I'd love to buy a Brunswick "Kling" table with the original ball "Lightning" return system... I think they're the same model of tables that were in the pool room called "Elkers" in NYC, where "The Hustler" was filmed

There's something about those big old tables with the heavy set construction, original wood inlays and original ball return systems that seems to bring the history of pool to life in some way or another, it's kinda difficult to describe though

EDIT - It looks more like it was Brunswick's "Hudson" model pool table with the ball return, that was in "The Hustler"... still such a nice table though and it's a shame that tables aren't built to be as strudy as that anymore
