I was hoping someone here could help shed some light for me. I was gifted a pool table from the late 60's/early 70's by a colleague at work who identified it as a Brunswick Classic. From all of the research I've been done so far, I've not come across a Brunswick Classic model. The closest resemblance I've been able to find is the Brunswick Yorktown.
Anyhow, I started to disassemble it so I could refinish the wood and give it a general tune-up, etc. and noticed that it seems to be a one-piece 1/4 slate, braced with wood, which is then braced with another one-piece 1/4 slate. Now, I haven't yet taken the felt off the table entirely, but I'm fairly confident that this is the build. I've gone near mad trying to find out anything about this construction and have come up empty, so I thought I'd try my luck here.
Unfortunately, I don't have pics as of this moment, but I'd be glad to take some if it will help someone explain the construction to me. I'm starting to wonder if this is even slate!
