Hello, I know this isn’t much to go on but can anyone identify what this table is based off of this photo? It’s about 4 hours away from me and this is the only photo the owner gave me. They said most of it is boxed up and they can’t get to it and I don’t want to waste my time. Any help would be appreciated.
Need help identifying table
- Thread starter Ruester
- Start date
I can't even tell what part of the table that might be..
However, I do have many questions..
- Why are you considering this table? I'm guessing that the price is right..
- If the seller doesn't want to do the work to sell the table, is it worth the risk?
- It looks like an antique. Costs add up quickly with antiques. Are you prepared for a project/investment?
All great comments/questions. I can't tell what that is either.
Amen. If I was in a rush to get a table, I'd call the best mechanic in my area and have him get one for me. decent probability he's got one in storage ready to go.

Seriously? Don't waste a second if this all they have for pics.
Don’t wast your time
Either I am missing something or the seller is pulling a prank on you but I just dont see a pool table anywhere in that picture.
Well, it could be one of these: https://www.billiardrestoration.com/antique-pool-tables/clark-herd-regina.htm Leg inlays look very similar.
unless you get full set of pics you have to assume it is not in good condition. so thats hundreds of hours of work for you and untold amounts of money finding antique parts at outrageous prices. if you dont mind many thousands of dollars in the table and still may not have a good playing table go for it.
only a competent table mechanic can look at a box of parts and give you any kind of idea if you can even put it back together.
even then you will have at least a thousand in it if you do it all yourself. and are lucky.
would you drive 4 hours to buy an old car if the seller sent you a picture of the bumper.
