Gold Crown 1…..ID help needed!

[Rjmoncrief]

Hello all! I need a little help identifying this table. It looks like a GC 1 but I’m curious as to the rail sights. It looks like there’s just one sight in the middle of each long rail. I’ve never seen this before. Is this abnormal or have I been missing something all these years?
Let me know what y’all think.
Thanks!

Looks just like my GC1, except for those missing sights and it’s a bit rough.

You ever seen one with the rail sights not there? The Formica looks good though, like the sights were never there….

No never, no sights in a few though.
I do like sights

The sights, or lack thereof, is the least of what's wrong.

I understand that. I know it’s rough but it’s free! Here’s a few pics of my GC 4 that was very rough before I got done with it. I’m pretty sure I can handle it!

It's perfectly normal. What you are missing is that It's a snooker table, not a pool table. The GC snooker tables have one sight per rail, lower height wood rails, different shape slate cuts in the pockets, and the pocket rounds. All those are snooker specific.

If you are looking to make it into a pool table, good luck...

I always loved when people would get a tray of balls and dump them on a billiard table.

We would all stop and see how long it would take them to realize there were no pockets.

Sometimes quite a while. It would be amazing.

So I assume this is a 10 foot table?

I was wondering the same. The ratio of the rail width to the overall table length/width to my eyes look like a 9’ table. I don’t know if the snooker table was offered in 9’, however.

I’ve gambled on 9 foot GC snooker tables….not many, but there are some.

Thanks for the input. Yes it’s a Snooker table, 9 footer. I didn’t know that about just the one rail site, never noticed that before. I’m not going to try and make it a regular table. I play a lot of golf so I’m getting it for myself.
