Hi all, just curious if any mechanics know why some of the old Centennial or Anniversary tables had red rubber drop pockets? Was this just an option or did this mark the table during certain years of production? I recently got a very early Centennial table that came with the original, appear to be original red pockets.

Just curious what leads you to believe they are original? Are there any Brunswick markings on them?
 
I got to clean them up but definitely I have seen a lot of older pictures and the older catalogs that show the tables with red pockets and they appear to be definitely period correct in terms of the condition of the rubber

Just curious if Brunswick stamped them or if there is manufacturer's info in the mold.
 
Seen them with both black and red. Don't know what years used which. Classic Billiards will most likely know these details.
