I have an AMF table and it looks almost identical to this one. Very gold crown like, but ill have to send pics to see if this is the same. Ill do some more research this evening when I get home and see if I can back this up.
Table Make/Model?

Its a very interesting table. However, I also do not believe it to be a Gold Crown. It has alot of similiar qualities to my 1967 Murray, but I would not consider it a Murray table either. The joint connectors/metal pocket mount to the sides of the rails. Your pictures show your metal casting to joint similiar but bolt at a 45 degree angle. My murray is labeled/tagged on one of the main beams and all the pocket castings have murray on them too. You have thrown a good question as to whom the manufacturer could be. You might want to check into golden west tables since they at some point had some knock-offs similiar. I will try to do some research and see if I might find some info for you.

IF those round plates with 3 screws at the bottom of the rail are what catches the bolt under the slate, the table is definitely not a GC. GC's have plates INSIDE the rails. That's why they are so tight.
It's definitely a GC knockoff. ACME was the most infamous one.
Kangaroo from Asia is another one.

While researching Kangaroo and Murrey, I ran across this picture of their California model, which looks awfully similar to the table I have. Their Superior model is also similar. Need some better pics of these models if anyone has some?
