Hey Guys,
This is my first post here. I've always enjoyed playing pool growing up and wanted my parents to get a real pool table vs the kiddy 5 in 1 set I had. That never happened. I stumbled across the remains of a late 1800's brunswick front and back bar and now that I'm all grown up and have my own house I picked up my first pool table which had to match the bar. I found the perfect table, a CIRCA 1910 Brunswick Rochester. The table didn't come with any accessories as the owner was in the process of moving and didn't know where he put them. Everything but the triangle was new anyways.
I started searching for matching accessories which led me to a table advertised as a brunswick. A brunswick cue rack, ball rack, triangle, cues, clay balls, and all kinds of other goodies. When i got there I realized that the table didn't seem to be a brunswick but the accessories were. They wouldn't separate the package but I got the whole lot for a decent price so now I have two tables. I'm thinking the new one might go to my parents.
I've attached a picture of the table. Can anybody identify it? The nameplate on the rail is missing. The void is about 1 1/2" x 4". The table is a hair bigger than a 8x4. It seems to be well built but it definitely isn't a match to the rochester in heft of construction. The frame is all nailed together and was light enough to carry out with two guys.
One other clue is the pockets had what looks like a shield with stripes and five stars on the leather flap. I attached something similar I found on google image search.
Sorry about the picture quality.
Thanks,
BBC SS
