never seen any B'wick like this. looks kinda like a BlackWolf but aprons are shaped different. and that gold/bronze finish. maybe B'wick allows foreign dealer to slap 'Brunswick' on any table for a fee.
Maybe it's a model only available in the Asian market?
Most likely. Looks decent from outside. Probably has frame/const. like the Metro.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Good way to get sued too.

That is NOT a Brunswick. Simply because it has no nameplate and/or factory decals. The nameplate is 100% guaranteed to be on a Brunswick Gold Crown's (1,2,3,4, & 6) headrail. They are proud of the Gold Crown line and rightfully so. The newer models being produced in China is the only negative aspect I can think of with those tables but I digress. Regardless, the nameplate would be there front and center if it were a Brunswick Gold Crown. Even The Gold Crown Coin has Brunswick imprinted on the table underneath the coin mechanism. The only reason it wouldn't be there is if it's a table made by another company that's designed to look like a Gold Crown (knock-off) but can't use the trademarked Brand and/or model name for legal reasons. If they could get away with using those things without the fear of legal ramifications, they most certainly would. They know that is one major selling point considering all years and models of the Gold Crown are highly sought after. If it was legitimately a Gold Crown it would proudly and rightfully showcase its brand and/or model name. Not just because it's a Brunswick but also to help identify and confirm authenticity. This table doesn't have the Brunswick name on the ball box either. Both the 4 and 6 say Brunswick in that area as well. Brunswick may offer the removal of the brand markings but I don't see many people doing that when buying a Gold Crown specifically. Nothing about the table in those pictures screams Brunswick Gold Crown except the aftermarket decals added to the side panels.
