Got catalogs or info on pool-table-maker O.L. Briggs & Son?

[Paul Bell]

When did pool-table maker O.L. Briggs & Son go out of business? AZer “always ready with a good word” Garczar figured 1930ish (see below). I have attached a Briggs catalog (really a billiards rule book) dated 1897. Are there other catalogs or proof of when the company was in existence? Is there a book that includes discussion of the O.L. Briggs & Son company?

What is mentioned in the Blue Book of Pool Cues about O.L. Briggs & Son?

I have some cue sticks etched with O.L. Briggs & Son and wonder how old they are.

Kinda weird. Briggs went out of business around 1930-ish iirc. They made some nice stuff but they were long gone by the time Anniv.-style tables were around.

call Derrick Tiers at Billiard Restoration. He knows a ton about these old tables. Another is Ken Hash at Classic Biliards.
