Hoping someone can shed some light on an old table I have.

This table was my grandfather's and after his death in 1988 I took it apart and bought it home. I admit to not playing much and being highly ignorant about tables. I do however like fine furniture and admire how a nice table looks. It has sat in the same place for all those years waiting for me to refinish and put it back together. We are moving soon to a smaller place I I know it will never happen. I'm looking for info on the company, possible year it was manufactured and a value both unfinished and restored. Hopefully the images are enough. It was a thing of beauty as I remember it all those years ago and I would certainly like it to be with someone that could use it.

If there are details needed please let me know and I will snap some photos of those details.

The only reference to A. Hand is in a history book about Cleveland. Only states that the company was absorbed by the Cleveland Store Fixture company. Where else might I go to try and find anything about this table?

It's probably a re-brand of a Brunswick, you can tell the logo was originally larger and filled in around the one there now.
 
My opinion would be that it is not worth much either the way it sits or refinished, unless it has sentimental value.
It looks like a poorly made knock off from the 30s that has had extensive diy repair.
What size are the slates and can you take a picture of them? from the top and the side. I don't think it matters, but it might. I agree that it has probably been rebadged, but I don't think it was ever a Brunswick.
 
I suppose if it were me and I had no other place to turn to I might try Blatt Billiards in NYC.

Runner up would be Mark and Connie Stellinga, authors of "Pool & Billiards Collectables" through their publisher, Schiffer Publishing (610) 593-1777.

Good luck.
