Diamond Pro table serial number

Scarred but Smarter
Hey all,

I’ve got what I think is a black label Diamond Professional 9 foot table for sale, and an interested party is asking me to provide the serial number so he can determine the age of the table. I’ve been crawling underneath the table looking for a serial number and can’t find one.

Anybody have any tips on where to look? Would a rail have to be removed to find a serial number ? Thanks for any help.

Your best bet would be to call Diamonds. I never heard anyone talk about a serial no.

What color is the "Diamond" logo/badge?
 
It’s black. I’ll try to post a pic.

IIRC the "black" label is same as "red" label. You could specify black if so desired. The newer models are all blue labels. As to what year this took place RKC will know or just msg. Diamond directly. More: just searched this and according to RKC the change took place in 2010.

Thank you very much, that at least narrows it down. I appreciate your help.
 
Table

Underside of the rail assembly. You’ll need to take the rails off and flip them over.

Mine had a date on the top side of the slate. I saw it when it was recovered. It was red crayon or something similar.
 
Wouldn't the serial # be on the paperwork that came with the table? Or could ownership be traced back to the factory to find it?
 
Thanks again to everyone, I just wanted to share a response I received from the Diamond company:

“What a classic! That style Professional was the flagship table when DIAMOND was just a baby. This was before the Pro-Am was designed and before we started using Dymondwood. Most every table was made from oak wood with that light brown colored stain that we called “standard oak”. You are right about the badges as most are blue or red but there were some that were poured with a black epoxy. Unfortunately, there is no real significance to this color. I was not around in this time period but what I could dig up is that there were a few runs of black name plates as customers had requested this color vs. the red. We estimated that there might be around 80-100 of these black name plate Professional tables so in that sense it is a limited edition of some sort. Back in these days the color of the name plate did not mean anything so different colors were used from time to time. This table has the playing specs of a “red logo” and it wasn’t until the blue color before the color of the name plate actually signified a playing specification of the table. Good luck with the sale. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will be glad to assist you.”

Very impressed with the response. Says something about them.

Agreed. When I deal with reps of a company, enthusiasm about their product and for the opportunity to interact with their customer is what I am looking for.

Glad you shared.
