Fatboy heres a brunswick centenial

It's listed on ebay with no bids and must be a convertible model because the description tells about the pockets and pocket liners, don't know if its a ten footer or a niner but it looks great in pics. Seller dosent have much feedback but wants pickup only so I would pay when picking up. Maybe somebody needs it.

If there's ever a pool table, that I would love to own, it is a Brunswick Centennial table, they just have that classic, but still modern look to them, especially with the chrome skirting and leg trim :)

What do these tables play like compared to modern day tables? :)

The add tells about the pockets and pocket facings

Just thought that it was a convertible model with several rail sets as I posted the first time Jay and I removed the item # on my post in case Fatboy wanted the table, heck fire somebody might want the dang thang.Also is there a chance to convert it to a pocket table and still get a great bargain, maybe realkingcobra has some info or input. And Jay I wasen't being a dumba$$ I just read the description below the table and it describes the pockets and pocket facings.--Leonard
 
your thread has given me the opportunity to see one of the prettiest pool table I have ever laid eyes on.

I greatly appreciate this thread. Thank you.

C.J. had a couple of minty 5x10's at the PALACE in DALLAS awhile ago.

An employee knew I collected things and let me know they were "available".

There is nothing better than trapping somebody playing 1P on your 5x10.;)

You are a horricially lucky individual, ribdoner, not only for being able to get hold of A Centennial Table, but also one that is in 5x10, that is sick :), but absolutely awesome :D

Do you play much straight pool on your table, as well as 1p? :)

Leonard,

To "convert" the table shown on eBay for Pool would require new rails and slate. That table is designed for Billiards and Billiards ONLY! No harm, no foul.
 
I half wish china would make replicas of these......

Probably an evil thought. But no harm dreaming about it. How else can these table ever surface again.

Hi Willie,

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't buy one of C.J.'s tables. Just letting FATBOY know where he might be able to score one.

I did buy an antique (circa 1890-1910) 5x10 BRUNSWICK from LORIMORS in OAK PARK, ILL. in 74. Brought the table to MEMPHIS when I relocated and sold it here shortly thereafter. NOT one of my finer moments:o

It worked out OK cause I found a "PRESTIGE OAK" by BRUNSWICK in 84 which I have as I type:)

Also had a 5x10 "ANNIVERSARY" (sp?) in our pool hall when it sold......prolly should have brought it home:rolleyes:
 
The centennial is a great table w/ modern rail design so it plays great.
Have converted a few. you can definitely use the rails as the liners are just extended to form that corner.slate would have to be cut but not that bad of a job.the only thing that would be a problem would be the castings as they would not work.also would need side casting.10ft normally not a desirable table though.

No worries buddy :), the idea of owning a nice 5x10 Centennial table, is still a really nice thought indeed :)

If there is 1 antique table that I would love to own, other than a Brunswick "Centennial", is a Brunswick "Hudson" (Same? tables as what was in "The Hustler"), simply because, like many of the antique tables and any other antique furniture, they were built to last, and I'd imagine that when looked after properly, they play every bit as good, (if not better than) as many of the modern day made tables that we have, but also because I loved the sound of the old wooden ball return system :)
