Help with Table ID

I'm going share a picture of a table I found and am interested in. I've poked around the internet and can't ID it. If it's a jumbo frame table, I'll likely buy it. But I've found that some of these are not jumbo frame tables.
Regardless, this doesn't quite match anything I've found, and I haven't been able to see it in person.
Thanks in advance,
Karl

A little earlier maybe?

The legs have an elephant style shape, but a little more to where the final curve is low like the Regent. The Regent and Regina are pretty much the same table only with a different leg shape. I am still looking into this, but from the Regent leg shape this could very well be from as early as 1910 era. The other poster is close though, this could be from 1923 as well. I have seen this exact table several times and I believe I saw the name of it before.
 
Not a Brrunswick?

Well, I have info that this isn't a Brunswick but rather is a Wendt or W. Alexander. I'll like to nail it down, but this is the only picture I have for now.
On another note, anyone care to take a stab at the value?
Thanks,
Karl

No luck identifying this table with any certainty, but the mystery will be solved any day now when I get more pics. I will post some and share what I find out.

mystery solved

The mystery has been solved. The attachment shows a billiards table, so what I don't know is if my table was modified or if it came from Brunswick with pockets......

one way to tell is if the end of each rail is punched with a number under the pocket iron wings. if the table was converted to have pockets later, (as opposed to being manufactured that way) chances are, whomever did it, wouldnt punch the same type of numbers or put them in the same order as brunswick...

did that make sense?
 
Interesting thing is this table has a Brunswick nameplate yet this is a Wenco. I wonder if someone scammed the previous buyer with the plate and patent info ......... I bought in in for a day.

I'm guessing it's the same nimrod who put the Brunswick nameplate on the rail.
From what I know, I don't think it was a private seller. The current owner bought the table from a dealer about 7 years ago. Using the info on the patent, I found it online, less the "Brunswick Stanford" part.

I emailed the patent to Joe Newell, and he replied that the Stanford is a Wendt.

I have seached for info and have come up empty for the most part. I did find pictures of a Wendt that has VERY similar veneers and inlays but is a different model.

I am buying this table after I finish some other deals. I've yet to see it in person, but the price makes it well worth the gamble. I'm getting four chairs, cue racks, cues, balls, etc.

So here's pics of another Wenco that I grabbed from another forum. The similarities are many........
What follows is the blurry pic of the nameplate -deleted-.

not unlike brunswick, wendt had several 'base models' that were sold with varying detail and trim, based on price. (ie the plane-jane vs the fancy model)

i guess someone assumed they were brunswicks...
