Antique 1920-1930 Brunswick Balke Collender Arcade Pool Table with Ball Return
Was also called a Snooker Table by my father. 3 Pieces of 1.5 slate. 5′x38.5 – Reinforced with wood trim. Photos are of it in it’s current disassembled state. And when it was last assembled in 2009 before I moved it from my parents home. It was professionally disassembled and labeled in 2009 by Pro Pool Table Service in Stanhope, NJ. I never reassembled it since I wanted to renovate my basement first but I never did. With this table being apart you can see what you are getting! All rails and cushions in great shape. Green felt in good condition. All around good condition but will look great with refinishing for a better appearance. There is some peeling laminate on the bottom of some legs. Balls and accessories are NOT included. Must be moved up basement stairs. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage.
