Pool Cue Rack Question

[Propaneking]

Picked up an old cue Holder. No name it. Bevelled mirror goes in the center section. Age? Value? Restoration advice?

Cleaned enough dirt off of it to find the name KC BILLIARD MFG CO. KANSAS CITY MO. Still trying to find out age and value. Thanks.

I also have the same cue rack, but mine has a chalk board in the bottom 1/4 with the top 3/4ths bevelled mirror--
I bought mine in Axtell, Kansas about 20 years ago. I would date the cue rack in the early 1910 to 1920--

WOW!!!! That thing is huge. I think it will be beautiful once it is refinished. I have an 1924 side loading Brunswick ball rack that I am almost done sanding. I will be watching this post to hopefully get some restoration advise.

The company was started in August 1902. Still looking for more info.

Found a reference to the company in the 1912 Kansas City Manufacturer's Exposition. LINK: http://www.vintagekansascity.com/conventionhall/whoswho/kc_billiard_table_mfg_co.html

Nice find...

You are gonna be proud of that once you bring it back to life. Share a before and after photo if you would.

I would suggest contacting the people at the following address. They can tell you what you need to know about your rack. A phone number and address is on their site.
