Identifying a table

[Scott Chendo]

Need help identifying a pool table. It seems vintage 50's/ early 60's. It has metal balls for feet.
An hourglass shaped frame support. I have not been able to identify it. It is quality construction.
If anyone knows what this is, I'd appreciate the help in identifying this table. Thanks!

Another pic. Looks somewhat like a gold Crown. I know it isn't that though..

A friend bought the table, and is trying to sell it. Kinda hard without identification.
He was told that it's a Gold Crown. We just removed it from storage from the guy who told him that

Its an AMF Grand Prix that has had those ball feet added. They had short metal cylinders originally. Just Google it and you'll see pics. Good old tables.

Thank you so much. It explains why the table looks so Brunswick like

The GP was the GC's main competitor for commercial use back then. They've kinda become cult items. If keeping it i'd try to find some original feet. Looks to be in good shape.

Yes it's in very good shape. I didn't examine the rails closely. when the owner stored the table, he wrapped everything in plastic

Yes I think garczar nailed it, looks like an AMF from the 60s that has had a ball feet mod, either that or it's the home version of the commercial AMF. I think they are about the only ones that used that hourglass frame design. It should have a red triangle with the AMF logo on one of the end blinds.

I just located one that does have balls for glides

Those are homemade/aftermarket feet. Its a Grand Prix.

Supposedly very rare. The owner of that table is asking 5K for it

That's really high. Wouldn't give anything close to that for one. Biggest problem is parts. VERY hard to come by. You can get a really nice GC for half that.

I've seen a bunch of those GP's and never a ball foot model. As said above may have been for home use.

AAR, Thx very much for the help!

Oddly enough, it doesn't that I can see. I guess the owner won't know until he puts it back together
