I call 'em like I see 'em

A few months ago, I started a thread (and took a beating) asking about the most cost effective method of moving my grandfathers pool table to my home. I finally got the table moved and set up but during the process, I decided to bring all of the accessories along with the table. (excluding the prints of the dogs playing poker).

Along with the cue rack, wall rack for balls, balls themselves, pea bottle, table brush, and rack I brought along all of the old bar cues that my grandfather aquired when he bought the table. (around 1970)

I have looked throughout the internet trying to get an idea of what I have on my hands but have not had much luck. I'm 99.9% sure that these are not the Titlist that everybody is crazy about and am not real sure that they are worth any more than the emotional value of having been in my family for 40 years. (my cousins and I all used these and are probably responsible for them being in the shape they are in.)

Any help in identifying these would be appreciated and just in case... NO, I'M NOT SELLING so don't bother with the pms'.


The cue rack (Brunswick Balke and Collander) along with the cues themselves. (Gotta love my wife's baskets in the picture, or even in the same room)


a close of of the "Tru Balance" cue. I have found some information on this model (I think)


representation of 90% of the cues. The Tru Balance is 2nd from the right.
 
More than happy to post photo's of the table.

here is the original thread, complete with photo's of the table in my Grandfathers basement. (note: the carpet stayed)

here are a couple of photo's of the table in my home.






The view from my recliner. :D

and while we are at it... some shots of other "prieceless" equipment that came along.


Cue and Ball Racks.


Close up of logo on the Cue Rack... (Note: The patent information is on there but Grandma
must have painted the wall w/out removing the rack as there is white paint covering the patent number (previous photo) :frown:)


Ball Rack (No branding info found, but I assume Brunswick)


Pea bottle, Rack, Brush, Balls and Ball rack. The only branding information I could find
on any of these items is the word "Cushion" on the brush.

All of this equipment as been used at one time or another by my Grandfather, his kids (2 girls, 3 boys), all 18 grandchildren, and the countless Great Grandkids. Needless to say, this stuff is Prieceless.

NOTE: All of the above photo's (including the original post) are linked to larger (original size) versions.
