Bespoke manufactured bar billiards table converted from a Bulldog American Pool table: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bar-billiards-table-/390891435748I believe the seller to be JD Sports of Bexleyheath. The size is not given (may be shorter than the standard 6 feet) but appears to be unique (as well as correctly proportioned) and I have therefore no idea of its value. Went to a single bid of £99. Someone bagged a bargain here, methinks !

Supreme table from a pub in Huddersfield converting to 'foodie': www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bar-billiards-table-18-months-old-coin-operated-/221522991903Note the typical damage to the cloth around the D area due to the absence of a leather D (I truly believe that when bought new they are supplied like that). And many of these are sold on when the timer battery pack expires, so worth asking the question as that would affect the value. Went for £512-99 after 39 bids.

Russian billiards (ie table top) from Manchester: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bar-Billiards-Table-Top-Table-/251621584044Measurements in cm translate as 5ft x 2.5ft, so larger than the 'Joe Davis' toy tables. Has a "G J Stanhope" label, so quite rare. Possibility that it has a slate bed rather than hardboard, if so could fetch over £100. Went for £322-88 after an amazing 44 bids.

The Kings Lynn bath tub table is an R G Mitchell table from Skeggy. They dabbled in them briefly in the seventies.
The set-up is 'narrow' Sams and they have an electrical timer. I've had a look at one but never played on one. Whether you can source spares I doubt. Cushion rubbers will almost certainly be perished.
Not one I personally would look at no matter what price. Having said that it should go for very little money

Modern Supreme table from Nuneaton, Warks: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bar-Billiards-Table-/171441725536Some nasty damage to the cloth symptomatic of never having been fitted with a proper D. But looks like a cue has finished it off. Reckon there's no more than £300 equity in this one. Went for £502 after 39 bids.

I doubt if anyone on here will oppose you on this one as Supremes are seen as being a bit 'Mickey Mouse'. You can count on the fingers of one hand how many are used for league games. Having said that, they're over a grand to buy new and usually go for £500 or less second hand: whereas like with a vintage car, a vintage bar billiards table (Jelkes, SAMS or Riley) will hold its price, and maybe even appreciate in value as they get rarer ! I've you're insistent on getting a modern (Supreme) one due to budget restrictions, don't pay over the odds. And two things to check with the vendor: 1. Does it have a slate bed ? (the earlier ones were MDF and because of this difficult to hit a straight shot) 2. Is the timer battery pack still working ? (many tables are got rid of when this packs up as they are expensive to replace.) tommo
