I thought you AZers might enjoy seeing my best piece of billiard artwork.

Joe Hood was the Mike Massey or Tom Rossman of 100 years ago. The aspects that I like most about this piece are:

1) It is an ORIGINAL
2) It advertises Brunswick Balke Collender
3) Shows a great photo of Joe Hood
4) Also shows a Naragansett model carom table that was a popular model of table produced by Brunswick from the 1890s to about 1910.

I am always looking for the exceptionally rare in antique billiard items.

Thanks for looking!
