I have recently acquired a pool table that I do not know much about. I am looking for more information on the table and am open to the idea of selling it if I can get a good offer.

What I think I know: Table was made by Indianapolis comination billiard manufacturing company of Indianapolis.

Table is somewhere between 1850 and 1908. I believe it is a 1902 model.

Table has only 4 pockets, one in each corner.
Table has 5 legs, one in center of table.
2 piece slate.
smaller table 7ft by 3.5 i believe.
Very rare.

Table is in original condition with the exception of new cloth and new bumbers. The wood is original but has been rubbed down with tongue oil to spruce it up.

Table is very rare. I have searched the internet have not been able to find another one like it. The closest thing I can find is an ad for it from an old magazine - and its hard to tell exactly if it is the same or not.

Any info and thoughts of value greatly appreciated.

Table located in central Nebraska.
