By the way, here too there are only 12 diamonds. Perhaps Irving Kaye even manufactured for other prefabricated components and supplied them as the foundation for a basic kit. I add a few photos from a table built in Germany. There no longer seem to be any records of this, but I have seen tables from other manufacturers that have exactly the same interior as an Apollo.
I suspect that Irving Kaye has also served other companies as suppliers. An old German billiard table factory, known as Kiesewetter, which no longer exists today, often bought its finished parts from suppliers in the 1950s and 1960s. We recommend searching the internet for billiard appraisers or billiard restoration. Q Can you tell me what my table is worth A We apologize but we do not appraise billiards tables, nor can we give you the current value of your table. The components are identical and so are the materials. A Unfortunately, the serial number will not assist us with determining the history of your table. I can't find a serial number to find out. But, the balls go through the pockets and to the correct compartment seamlessly. The coin operation must've been disabled. Its all original parts, as far as I can tell and works perfectly. For example, one can find the Brunswick Anniversary as a model with small changes both in Mexico and in Spain. Hi, I would really love to know what year my Valley, coin-op table is. They bought the parts for it from other companies. I have noticed in the last few years that many billiard manufacturers have only assembled their tables. Did Kaye use 1″ thick slate on his smaller tables? If so, I plan to glue some 1/4″ plywood to the bottom of the slate to bring it up to designed thickness.Īnyway, if anyone has any ideas or insight into what make and model this table is and the other questions I have asked, and can give me any pointers that will save me money and frustration, I would appreciate it. Can anyone tell me if the diameter of the circle section on the smaller IK tables is the same diameter as any other table? I believe pockets are cut with a 5″ diameter masonry hole saw. I have the ability to cut it down to size and cut out pockets. I purchased a used 7′ slate that is 3/4″ thick.
I suspect that when I add rubber to the rails, the playing surface will be approximately 31 1/4″ x 62 1/2″, but I won’t know for sure until I pick up the table after this Coronavirus thing calms down a bit.
If you know that this is NOT an IK, and know what it IS, please advise. Also, the seller claims the person who sold it to her said it was an IK. I don’t know of any other manufacturer than IK to do this on smaller tables. I think it is an IK table because the end and side rails have two diamonds between pockets. Pressboard playing surface a previous owner cut: 67 1/2″ x 35 1/2″ Seller does not have slate or rubber on the rails. I still need to pick it up to get exact measurements myself. I recently committed to purchase what I THINK is an early IK Eldorado Mark 1 as a restoration project.
