Brunswick Antique Pool Table KLING 8′ oversize replica by Golden West Billiards
It was in a premier location so everyone entering had a look at the rich & famous history of pocket billiards. I believe this 8 oversize is the best size table for most rooms and most players. Only true dedicated players desire a 9 size table, which is more intimidating to most players. The table is in excellent shape but I will re-finish the tops of the rails and install new cushion rubber and Simonis Cloth in any color on the rails and include the bed cloth. Also included are new pockets made by Hood Leather and you can choose the fringe or pocket shields designs. IN ADDITION TO THIS TABLE! This famous Brunswick pocket billiards table was first made in the early 1900s. It was named after the All-Star Chicago Cubs (Brunswick was established in Chicago) Baseball catcher Johnny Kling who was also the 1907 World Champion Pocket Billiards player. The Cubs won the World Series in both 1907 & 1908. In 1909 Kling was again the Pocket Billiard World Champion. The Kling design has the reputation of being the finest pool table ever made. An unbelievable statement considering the amount of different pool tables manufactured in the last 200 years. It was built in 1907 and became the world standard for how a pocket billiard table should look and play. Brunswick still made this table in the mid 1920s. This exact replica is made by Golden West Billiard Manufacturing in Portland, OR. Hours of watchful labor guarantee this Kling to be the very best reproduction manufactured anywhere in the world. Turn of the century styling gives this table a classic presence while remaining the most solid tables constructed. It not only looks as good as the original BUT it features modern construction mainly in the rail attachment to the slates. This makes for more perfect play with less vibration from the cushion rubber than true antique tables. The table has 3 pieces of 1 thick wood backed slate and the tables weighs about 1,000 pounds. The cabinet and legs feature brilliant Mottled Mahogany wood which shimmers in good lighting. There are hundreds of inlays of Mother of Pearl and Ebony verticals which enhance and enrich this time honored classic. The Kling is constructed on massive 14 hand carved bell shaped elephant style legs. The oversized 12 x 2 thick frame and solid hardwood blocks make this jumbo frame the Ultimate in Pool Table Perfection. Thank you for your interest.
