Oval Shaped Bagatelle Table

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I know there is a bunch of knowledge in the Snooker area and many folks from the UK who may know about my Bagatelle table. I would be very greatful if you could have a look at the photos attached and possibly offer some detailed info on the very unique Bagatelle table.


Recently I picked this beast of a table up. It's a Bagatelle table that measures approx (12) feet long and (4) feet wide with (6) pockets and (9) cups. I have not been able to find any information regarding this table. I am hoping to learn more about the manufacturer. I have seen some other Bagatelle tables but never (12) feet long with (6) pockets. I have been advised that this table was likely made by burroughes and watts based on the style of the legs but I don't know this to be true.

The questions I have but any info is appreciated:

1.) Have you ever seen such a Bagatelle table before this long and with (6) pockets?
2.) Who is Spencers Billiard Works in Bristol and why is their nameplate on this table?
3.) How would I obtain some catalog / print material on the Bagatelle?
4.) Where can I obtqain new cushions and supplies for these tables?
5.) Any rules of play based on this table with (6) pockets?
6.) Any idea how old this table is and what kind of value it has?


Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Mark in Houston

There was a guy who posted on the www.snookerforum.com who i recall almost always had an answer to folks trying to track down simlar. Dunno if he still posts or his nick but its worth posting the same thread there and hopeing he replies.

Thanks Wity, but it looks like the link is dead. Can you send this person a link?

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

lol, I thought i'd give it a couple of days or so and see what response you got before suggesting you post in the equipment section but i see you already have. Glad to see you got some answers too.

100-upper was the guy i was thinking of btw.

erm you do realise your a marked man now mentioning me. The goon in charge "Ferret" probably has you earmarked for a ban already. Just remember to salute him with a seig heil if you talk to him and you'll not have to bother going back there ever again. :D
 
Did this ever get completed? I'd love to see how it came out!
