Hi, I'm interested in information about this table. Mainly approximate year(s) of manufacture and what would be the best replacement cushions?

Thanks.

1920s-1930s and you can't just buy replacement cushions. You'll need a rail mechanic to rebuild the rails and apply new rubber with a snooker cut
 
Why would you have to re-profile the rails on a snooker table? I thought the rubber was "L"-shaped, and therfore the rails having a square corner to which they are glued. Not like the angles of an older pool table. Please explain.

I have seen a lot of nonsense on these old T-rail tables, but if they are square, the U-23 or whatever style should work
 
Looks like my 10' Arcade without the inlays. 👆
I think it looks more like a 10' Regent without the inlays. https://www.oldpooltables.com/catalogdetail.php?absid=19
Either way I've never seen one like this before.
You probably are going to need to use artemis cushions because they are all that are available in 10' and they are going to be super fast (you will get 6 table lengths with worn simonis 860, with room for more except the ball will jump off the table if hit harder). When they put them on they might need to adjust the rails or the ball will hop when hit hard into a rail

A lot of these old tables had pool profile cushions with snooker bend end pieces installed. The OP's table looks like it has pool cushions.
