Technical Information: : From the 1986 Brunswick Billiards Prestige sell
sheet:
Dramatic furniture styling, solid Brazilian cherry construction and

of the finest billiard tables available today.
Solid Brazilian cherry rails, aprons and legs feature an 11-step antique
cherry finish providing extraordinary woodgrain depth and clarity.
Leather covered three-iron pockets feature antique finished metal trim and
genuine leather nets.
Three-piece precision ground one-inch framed slate provides a permanent
level playing surface. Professional quality 100% wool billiard cloth
assures professional playability.
SUPERS SPEED® cushions, the standard in the industry, are canvas-backed to
provide optimum playing accuracy and rebound consistency. Brass-finished
stretchers accent the leg assemblies.
The Prestige is available in 8 and 9-foot models in traditional pocket
style only.
Also available with solid wood stretchers.

for maximum strength.
Rails: Solid Brazilian cherry rails are supported by and bolted through
the slate for maximum rigidity. The floating nut plate design allows
rails to be precisely positioned and permanently pulled down to the slate.
