It’s a shame to see Steve ,since the snooker boom has long gone and the remaining clubs already have tables ,the only market for selling is home tables really ,it’s a buyers market .

That B & W is a Rigidus frame when the two middle legs are set like that ,it’s done so the inner frame runs under the slate joints for extra support .

So many tables going up for sale at the moment at crazy low prices (and some junk tables at crazy high prices). It’s sad to see! You just know they will be bought by salvage yards who want the slate for mantles and probably have the frames for fire wood.

[QUOTE=Danger Steve;n1013918]Joe Davis old table apparently

Not certain but this looks like a possible Forgotten and unloved Aristocrat? sitting this dump of a room, could be a good buy for someone whos prepared to do some work on it. Looks solid enough...

That Westbury looks in good nick ,even though it’s not a steel block version the price is cheap .It’s probably not had much use as those pocket leathers look very original ,frame looks in great condition ,just need to re finish the cushions .Would be a good project if I had the room somewhere to do it .

Joe Davis old table apparently … I dunno about that.

It’s a cheap steel block table in need of a refurb, note the two middle legs closer to the centre of the table! If only I had the space for it

I think it maybe looking at it ,Walnut varies a lot and the side panels have that look ,top cushion rails Don’t look like it though
,hard to say

Could be a good buy for someone looking for a Westbury and willing to do the work? (Yes I am bored lol)

I really like the wood, wasn't sure what it was and thought maybe walnut but knew it wasn't quite right. Thanks

I must stop looking at these tables.... a couple of really nice ones lately that would look great in place of my potting shed... apart from the minor issue of there already being a table in there!

[Danger Steve]

Not sure the legs are right. The price certainly is though

If only I had the space in my man cave ….. that looks lovely.
I’d get rod of my pool table in a shot for a swap for that

I feel a loan for an extn is in your mind mate.

650! It really is crazy what some of these old tables go up for! Imagine buying something that ornate now as a new piece? Crazy.

Well that's his starting point, says he wants a grand in the notes or nearest to that, it's been on a while so I reckon he'd bite ya hand off for 750 quid. I agree too as Mikee says it would've been worth 15k twenty years ago, people like this guy selling who states he was a casual player not serious, who could afford a table like this now feel lumbered with them and struggle to sell because of the popularity of the sport being a lot less. In the end they are happy to nearly give them away if people pay the costs to dismantle and remove from site.
