centennial legs
Finally I have completed the legs and just trying to get the rails done pretty soon. I had a little trouble getting good pictures of them with the lighting I was working with.Thanks for all the comments,this will be a gorgeous table when finished! I think the table will be ready in about 2-3 weeks max. Let me know if anyone has interest.

centennial restoration
This table may be a one of a kind model Centennial. I have worked on and restored
quite a few of Centennials and maybe a hundred Anniversaries. I have never seen a
9' Centennial pool table with a "one piece side rail" like a carom table. This table is all
original and is not a conversion from a billiard table. I am asking $8500 for the
table,delivered and set up(Dallas area),choice of cloth,also with a package of play equipment.

almost ready....
Almost ready to set up table and take pictures of it for any prospective buyers out there. This one is a super rare table at a very competitive price. Pictures will come next week for sure. PM me if you would like a chance to check it out in person. Barry

It's pretty tough to beat an early Gold Crown,Anniversary,or Centennial!!
Hello,
Very nice veener work Sir. It has to be a carom conversion. I've seen it done several times. If the underside of the rail hasn't been re-painted it will tell you what type of rails, i.e., pool, carom, snooker.
See below info fom the Brunswick Billiard Service Parts guide effective January 1, 1950:

- Rails: Rosewood; side pocket butt joint; no side pocket castings; 3 hole nut plate.
- Slate, 3 piece, 1" thick.
- Rail castings: Polished anodized aluminum: used at corners only; attached to rail by bolt passing through center of face into recessed rail nut.
- Apron corner castings: Polished anodized aluminum.
- Pockets: Maroon; one piece molded rubber.
- Legs: Oval shaped, tapered, rosewood finish with aluminum trim; without stretchers. Attached to base frame by bolts without angle brackets.
- Apron ball rack: recessed in foot end apron; rosewood. finish.
Model C-1: Same as C except:
- Rails: Rosewood with side pocket castings, 5 hole nut plates.
- Rail castings: Polished anodized aluminum; used at corner and side pockets; attached to rail by bolt passing through center of face into recessed rail nut.
- Legs: Oval shaped, tapered, rosewood finish with aluminum trim with stretchers. attached to base frame with angle brackets.
Model D-C: Same as C except:
- Rails: Rosewood with side pocket casting; figure 8 nut plates.
- Rail castings: Polished anodized aluminum; used at corner and side pockets; attached to rail by bolt passing through face into rail angle nut plate.
definitely not a conversion
After talking to Derrick Tiers in Kansas about the table, he assured me that there were a few of these made with one piece side rails. They are pretty hard to find like that but are out there. Just finished the rails and ready to start putting it together for pictures. Send me a note if you have interest. Thanks guys for the feedback!
