One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

(sorry ladies, but "person" just doesn't have the music).
 
I am, and it's a 2. Which is MUCHO better than a 3.

Dale(maybe not quite an expert)

I definitely agree with this. Jack N Jill Billiards Cafe in Brewster, NY (a couple miles away from me) has a room full of Gold Crown 2's, and I love 'em. Much better than GC-III's.

A bit off topic -- wasn't it at about the time of the GC-III that Brunswick off-shored the manufacturing of the Gold Crown line (i.e. to China)?

Sorry about that. They all look so similar to me. Either way I picker her up for a few hundred and paid my mechanic buddy another couple to move it.

Next time its moved which should be in a few months I'm planning on some Artemis cushions and Simonis 860 cloth!

Thanks for the kind words guys ☺
 
Gold Crown 1, there's no extruded aluminum holding the ball tray to the end rail, no dowel separating the balls in the ball tray, it's a block of wood.

Two words, apron skirts. (or whatever they are called)

Plus, the pedestal looks to be tangerine - if the OP wouldn't mind removing the rails and
showing a pic of the bottoms one could determine in 2 microseconds.

FWIW - rebuilt is a term that allows for much variation - but pre-rebuilt IIs were
much better than IIIs

Enlighten me as to the differences between the 2's and 3's that made the 2's a better table?

I looked at the first picture and I was thinking, where's RKC when you need him?

....and here you are.

Welcome back, sir

Look on the bottom of the rails, there's a lettering stamped on during production, usually 3 letters followed by a space, then 2 more letters. If the rails are matching, all the lettering will be the same. Same thing goes for the rail skirts. The frame has the serial number stamped in all the frame pieces.
 
GC1, you can tell by figure 8 rail hold downs.
But it has the segmented skirt hangers which should make it a GCII, what gives Glen, mix and match table?
My GCII has captured nut rail hold downs and the segmented skirt hangers which tells me its a GCII, correct?
FWIW my table had been privately owned since it was bought new from Brunswick dealer so everything should
match on mine. GCIs should have 1 long aluminum skirt hangar on each skirt I think.

It appears to be part GCI and part GCII. The segmented apron extrusions are GCII and the rail bolt plates are GCI.
