Brunswick Pool Tables Serial Numbers
I though that I would share the pool table that I have grown up with. It's a restored 1920's Brunswick pool table (the same type that was used at the 1920's world championship).
It has been in my family for about 60 years now. My father restored after he inherited it. All of the mahogany wood was redone along with a refurbishment of the 4' of slate. All together, the table is valued at around $50,000 USD. I'm pretty lucky to play on it whenever I get back from boarding school. I think that will all of the interesting stuff that this sub posts, it'll fit right in. Thanks for all of the support from.

Serial number of just 23 this was the twenty third one-of-a-kind table, custom built by the Brunswick & Balke master craftsmen, specifically to be awarded as the 1st prize trophy for winning a major tournament. This had to be what they felt was their 'coup de grace' as they realized it was going to permanently represent their virtually world renowned reputation in the field of billiard table design and cabinet making by being used in, and awarded as the grand prize for, one of, if not 'the.
It's a sharp table but I don't believe it has 4' slate. That's for one overboard and also too heavy to be practical. I've worked on a few older tables with bigger slates and maybe 1.5-2' backed is about the limit even that is ridiculous. It's also not worth close to what you've been told. The market for older tables is very tiny so it takes an insanely well kept table with something that makes it pretty unique to be worth figures that high. Probably closer to 10% of what you stated I'd guess.
If you have pictures of the slate from when it was redone I would love to be proven wrong. Here's a link to some if you'd like to find yours.
Check for the Brunswick name printed in large letters directly on the wood, or on a metal plate affixed to the outer rail or side of the pool table. This will sometimes be the entire name or a monogram incorporating the letter 'B' stamped onto a metal plate affixed to the table.
The 'B' will be generally be a serif font with the top left serif extending up and over the 'B.' Look for a metal plate that runs along the underside of the rails and attaches the cushioned rail to the slate with metal bolts. This High Performance Nut Plate is a proprietary element of Brunswick tables and features special washers only used in Brunswick pool tables. Look for dome-shaped washers with pointed edges holding the nut plate in place.
These hardened dome washers cling to the underside of the slate and their design is unique to Brunswick pool tables. Check beneath the felt covering of the rail cushions for labels that will identify the cushions as genuine Brunswick 'SuperSpeed' cushions. This method will not be an option if the rails are intact. Check to see if the rails are solid hardwood. Brunswick pool tables were only made with that material. If the rail is made of joined pieces of wood, it is not authentic.
Check for a recessed area on the underside of the cushions. Brunswick tables are made with a machined recessed area on the underside of the cushions where the felt may be stapled down. This allows the rail to attach evenly to the slate surface. Check the table and slate joints.
Brunswick tables have strong joints that utilized furniture-making techniques like gluing two pieces of wood with alternating grain. On an authentic table, the joints that support the slate table surface will be 'dovetail' joints. Check the legs for the galvanized steel leg plates that Brunswick used to attach the legs to the table. They sit on top of the legs in the corners of the underside of the table and are held in place with nuts and bolts. Check for the'Brunswick Certified' slate sticker. It has black print on a white background with the Brunswick logo and can be found on the underside of the slate.
