Trying to determine what model GC this is

[rykr01]

Been doing lots of digging and the seller is helping me a lot. The table is 5 hours away so this is all via messenger.

Pocket castings are silver color as is the trim down the edges. And they do not react to a magnet.

Might be a 2. I think this picture shows the ball box as cork lined. Seems to be bit rough too. NO idea why the cues are in there

Yeah it's Not a GC I.
Like another said, likely a GCII or 3.
The top rail/Formica on the GCI is much lighter.
Here's a pic of a GCI, this one was thee most played on table in Denver during the Medina years, the players didn't beat it up like the one in the OP pics. Plus I just realized, the top rails on the I's were somewhat ''curved'' than the ones in the above pics.

I thought the 3s all had bronze pocket castings and trim. This one is silver.

 

[rykr01]

The metal trim around the ball box area is silver. The feet are bronze.

It's a Gold Crown II.

The Formica is lighter because the graphic has worn off. All Gold Crown I, II and III used Formica Elegant Rosewood 6211 which has been discontinued for some time. The rails also had the same profile.

It's s GCII, big score counters, and right color scheme.

It's a Gold Crown I... Look closely at the brush strokes, from the poor 'refinish'.

It's most definitely a GC I, and certainly not a III

 

[Island Drive]

OK, then which GC is this?

Based on the limited pics, I'd say a GCI.

Yep.... The apron layers were lessened with the II's and on.
That's why I commented on it Not being a II or III.
This was my table.
I conrblasted 7 of em and the I's had more layers in the apron wood.

Here are the long aprons from my Gold Crown I prior to paint. They don't look butcher block like yours.

Then possibly the aprons may of been from a later table, being the same they fit all the GC's one would think.

They are definely GCI aprons. The table had been in place since new when I bought it, there was no stain present, only paint/primer (eliminates the possibility of GCII aprons) and GCIII aprons have a different profile and mount to the rail differently vs a I or II.

My GCI aprons looked exactly like Rexus' when stripped. I know for a fact that my table was an original 2 owner table bought from a Brunswick dealer and delivered to a private home in Lake Geneva until the 2nd owner took possession in the late 80's (who I bought the table from). The only time it was recovered was when it changed ownership in the late 80's and then again when I bought it.

I just briefly glanced at the pictures, and just now took a closer look, the ball tray trim and feet are not bronze finished, you're right, it's an attempt at taking a GC1 and making it look like a GC2, but it's definitely a GC1.

The GC3's had mounting blocks on the skirts so they could be bolted up to the rails, there's no mounting blocks on those skirts.

The profile is different too to hide the drop pockets/return tracks.
