Every one of the 40 or so Anniversary tables I have sold the buyer wanted the aluminum polished out like stainless steel. If you want them polished there will be an up charge of $500. Even the aluminum castings are like new from the factory. I doubt if there is another model like this in existence with this scorekeeper. I have never seen one of these and this alone is worth hundreds of dollars. Unique thing about this table, besides the original condition, is the scorekeeper on the skirt if the table. This table was built in 1946 and has only been re-felted one time in 75 years. This is an amazing unrestored mint condition 8’ Brunswick that is unlike any I have ever seen. Vintage Brunswick Billiards Mid Century Modern 8’ Anniversary Pool Table. Item: 124309875901 Vintage Brunswick Billiards Mid Century Modern 8’ Anniversary Pool Table. Thanks again for all the people that have help me with this project.Seller: portcitypoolguy ✉️ (1,598) 93.9%, If Glen would come and look at my table, I am sure he would find a flaw or two, but hey, he does this for a living. He is a joy to talk to, he told me what I needed to know. I did not leave a message, but within five minutes, he called back. I did a bit of research but could not find any reference to stretch index spacing at the side pockets, for an antique table, I called Glen, got his voice mail. The video was covering a Gold Crown Brunswick table, it stated when indexing the cloth, "an antique table or one with smaller side pockets will be different as far as side pocket slack". Stretching the bed cloth was a breeze, it took me six hours or so, going back and re watching the video, but hey, I was only working for myself. If he had not had to show what he was doing, 10 minutes would have been wasting time.
1970S BRUNSWICK POOL TABLES HOW TO
I am still amazed that he spent 15 minutes of the video explaining how to cover the rail. a couple of pulled staples, but it looked great. I pulled a bunch of staples, but it finally came out proper. My first rail took me over five hours, I watched the section of the video two dozen times. After reading on this board, of the inconsistencies of the mechanics quality around the nation, I bought Glenn's videos for covering the table, I realize that it was designed for "Mechanics" to improve their skills, but they break down each step for anyone to accomplish the process. I was really concerned about covering the table, I considered having a local party cover it for me. The covering of the table, though, was beyond my knowledge and skills. Cutting the sub-rails to fit the newer rail rubber, and closing down the pockets to newer specs was a lot of research, then using my abilities to make them to spec. I can build anything out of wood, the bed, legs, and rail restoration was just a fun project. The thread on "Leveling the Slate" on this board is priceless. The videos he did for Simmons are amazing. I would especially like to thank Real King Cobra aka Glen Hancock, Glen can be blunt at times, but his knowledge is top shelf. (53 weeks from the time I brought the table from West Virginia to Kentucky, to completion.) I would like to thank all the people here that have given me advice and criticism over the past year. Faster with the Simmons cloth that it ever was, time will tell, but I am very pleased with the outcome. I shot a game of 8 ball against myself, I waded over all the tools and support items, not fun, but the table played great. I completed the "Brunswick Victor pool table" today.
The outfit furnished is what is termed The Victor and includes one dozen cues, one set composition pocket or billiard balls, cue rack and all of the other incidentals belonging to a billiard or pocket table." It is especially adapted for small cigar stores, barber shops, etc., where the quality of a better grade of table might not be appreciated. The table has not the same superfine grade of wood, finish and polish made use of in our standard billiard and pocket tables, but it is well constructed and will serve the purpose for which it is intended. Furnished either as billiard or pocket billiard. It is substantially constructed, furnished with slate 1" in thickness and equipped with Electric Quick Acting Cushions. The Victor table is made in hardwood, finished in Antwerp color so as to bring out the grain of the wood to the best possible effect. The table was manufactured under at least 18 patents, awarded from 1892 to 1905. Technical Information: The following information is from page 13 of the 1912 Carom and Pocket Tables catalog of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company.
