According to the specialist that restored the table in 1997, the table was manufactured in the late 1860s. We rescued the table from a Brooklyn, NY firehouse in 1996, when we heard that the firefighters were looking for someone to come and move the huge piece out or they were going to chop it up. We delivered it to a specialist in antique pool table restoration in Germantown, PA. This master craftsman meticulously renewed the table and delivered it to our game room in 1997, where it has been well-cared for and enjoyed ever since.
Most of the fasteners, washers, and gaskets are original. The three pieces of slate are original. Almost all wood is original, with the exception of one decorative trim piece (which is identical to the original pieces still in place). New felt and rail cushions were installed after restoration.
The table can be disassembled for transport.
All pickup and/or shipping is the buyer's responsibility.
