I am looking for one of those folding English Bagatelle tables. Does anyone know where might be a good place to look? I see them once in a while in the U.K. Anyway, I would really like to have one eventually once things are better for me. If I can find a lead on this, it would be a big help when I am able to afford one.

Looks like great fun.
 
Does anyone know what these typically sell for? I would take one missing the balls and needing new cloth and some wood polish if this price was right. I'd like to know what know will cost me when the time comes.

I also would like to find a Bar Billiards table. If I could find something that I could sit atop my pool table rather then a full table, that would work great.

But again, I don't know how much these things go for and I need to wait to buy on till things are going better for me.
 
I was very interested in the one you showed in the thread with the green cloth and cloth covered bumpers. It looked to be a good 8-10' long. From what i've read so far no company has made them since early 1990's. Too bad because my wife is already to buy it for me to stop me from going out on the patio and playing on the pool table which is killing me. If anyone in any country knows where these are sold new please post it. Don't worry about my wifes money, she has plenty and will have mine someday too :frown:. Johnnyt
 
Well if they have been made as recent as the 1990's, then there should be plenty of them floating around. My guess is the U.K. I don't see them as being too popular in the U.S. The pound to dollar is about 1.5 right now. I wonder what shipping would cost to send something like this to the U.S.? I just want a nice sized folding one to play on. I don't need an antique.

If I knew how to make the cups and had all the right measurements, I'd try to build on. but I'm not great at wood work yet.
