I have a scoreboard that may not be original to the set with 9 of the 10 scoring markers. I have the original cue and ball rack that match the table. But they are not included in the price of the table. I have accessories that I am holding onto for now if the purchaser is interested. The net pockets could use some slight stitching. Aside from the faded top rails, the pocket leather finish has slight spots of fading and overall, the wood is in very good shape. The table slate is 1" thick and is in 3 sections. I question if they were ever used due to their newness.
The long box with the extra rail set(4) was used to play carom which is included. This table has been equipped with"Eureka" convertible cushion rails which was an option during this production era. The rail caps have slightly faded in color and could be refinished. The rail caps are rosewood with ivory diamond sights. more wood and is used to surround the mother of pearl squares. On the sides of the table the white holly inlay is bordered on each side with 1/16" walnut. The background veneer is made from exotic circassian walnut from Turkey. It is the 4-leg model and is the standard 4 1/2' x 9' size. The table is in its original condition and obviously wasn't used much in it's 100+ years from its condition. The Arcade, which was made by Brunswick Balke Collender. This was the first year of the Kling model(1913) which was made until 1918 prior to the updated version. My grandfather purchased it from a friend in the same area and I do not know if his friend was the original owner. This table was owned by my grandparents where it has been very well taken care of in the basement of their Colorado Springs home near the Broadmoor Hotel since they purchased it in approximately 1950.
