Vintage Pool Table info needed

[captainjko]

I ran across this pool table in an old house today.. It is an 8 or 9 ft. coin operated. The metal tag says " The Calcutt Aristocrat Pocket Billiard Table ". I did a search on google but didn't see much.... Anyone ever seen one of these or have any info on it? It has a piece of plywood on top of it as they played ping pong on it years ago.. It looks like it has 1/2" thick slate on top of wood.... The pool balls look very old and have cracks on them... Thanks for any info you may have....

This is what I found too... $165 for an 8ft and $180 for a 9ft in 1933

Considering this is square in the middle of the Great Depression, that was a 'kingly' sum of money. Most people weren't making that much in a month.
