Need your opinions... is this a 10 foot table? If so, how much is it worth?
- Thread starter five-ball
- Start date
USUALLY tables with three legs per side are 10 footers so that's my guess but it's only a guess.
I have a similar table and from the looks of it. I would say it is a 10 footer! Reason I say this is age! 10 footers were built in early 1900's and late 1800's. Based on date of production in 1894. Also, based on 6 leg configuration. 6 legs were only use on the brunswick JUMBO frames and they were all 10 footers !!! Again this is to the best of my knowledge!!! Additionally, the rails in the picture appear to be VERY rare Brazilian Rosewood!!! The rails could really be sold to a guitar builder for BIG money due to size and thickness.
The subject of worth is very cloudy. To a billiard fan it could fetch big money. To a guitar builder it could fetch big money. But, here is the key!!! How often are the stars going to align and you and the big money guy going to run into one another to make the sale????
Based on the pictures and good condition I would value it around 5,000 because a new 10 foot Diamond is selling for 10K. Plus, with the economic decline many pool rooms have folded and reports of used black gold crowns selling for $1000 are not uncommon and they sold new for 6,000!!!
I hope this helps and please do a search and you can see pictures of my 6 legged 10 foot table to compare. I love owning this table and have it rigged with 4.25 inch pockets!!! it is my practice table and not set up for matches so much!!!
Feel free to drop me a PM for more information.

Unfortunatley, there are some six legged 9' tables (Connelly, AE Schmidt IIRC). There are also some antique tables that aren't 1 x 2 ratio.
The photo looks like 10' table, but you won't know what you've for until its under your thumb.

An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, eh five-ball? Welcome to the forum. :smile:
Looks like a 12 foot table to me. 
(Unless the camera used a distorting lens, ain't no way IMO it's a 9 footer, this beast looks like a football field. Do you see how small the 15 ball rack looks in relation to the table?)

I'm betting on ten foot ...the twelve foots had 8 legs.
I've played on a few.
They are gorgeous pieces of furniture.....but the side-mounted rails on
under-sized slate can be a problem on old tables.
Looks like a 10 footer, you can probably figure it out for sure by how the rack of balls look on it. But for an antique table in the good shape it looks like, it will probably be a good amount of money for it.
The good thing is that from the picture of the room it's in, the current owner won't be hurting for money if it sells cheap
I guess its a ten footer. Easy enough to determine. Take a photo of a nine footer with a rack of balls on it.
Reduce the 9 foot table photo to the size of the photo you have and superimpose one photo over the other. I think you will find the rack of balls is "bigger" on the nine foot table.

That is a 10 footer.
I've got a 6-leg 1938 Saunier & Wilhelm 10 footer (1" slate) for my home table, with a similar leg style (Mission I guess).
10 footers are hard to sell. If the seller is desperate - you might get a deal at $1000-1500. If I was the seller (or selling mine), I would promote it as a One Pocket table to pool halls within a 150 mile driving area.
