Kling Value

[CamposCues]

What would the approx. value of a Kling (or what ever this is) be in this condition? Is it restorable?

roughly $4000 if everything is sound and no damaged slate. Looks like an easy restoration

 

[Dartman]

Looks like Arcade blocks (rectangular vs. square outside inlays)
with Kling rails (diamond sights) . Strange.

Looks to be in rough condition (2500 - 4000)

This table is an Arcade. In that time, Brunswick could do whatever a customer wanted(Diamonds), extra billiard rails etc. Its too bad Brunswick has become a mass produced table with no real custom options anymore. The Kling and Arcade from what I have seen usually have 1.5 inch slate also. This is still one of Brunswick's most desirable styles from the Jumbo era or any era for that matter. Generally these tables can be set up with next to nothing between the slates and frame after a good leveling is done on the legs. Framework is the best the company ever did IMO. Of course a Hudson is also built like a tank and my favorite. When restored that table should bring at least 10,000 even in this market. A few years ago it would have been 17500 with no problem. The Kling and Arcade both bring about the same money for the most part as they are very similar. A Hudson usually 1.5 the money of the 3 large super tankers.

As with cars all numbers on the table should match.

The key is in the restoration and not cutting corners.

Oh and as this table has 6 legs 10% more. But if it is a 10 ft model 80% less
