Pretty $pendy if well restored & assembled by a top table mechanic...but the old "they don't build 'em like they used to" phrase really applies here. My fantasy table would be much like the one in the pic I posted, with simonis tournament blue cloth. Today's gold crowns are okay, so are Diamond brand tables. But Damn, I just love the Centennial.
Here's a link to the history.
Antique Brunswick-Balke-Collender's The Centennial billiard table
I'm pretty lucky...the Cue Ball in Salem is all Centennial or Anniversary tables...great equipment, and Jim always gives Cindy & I a break on hourly rental rates, since we usually play in the afternoon when the hall isn't crowded.
