I am looking for one here in the States or companies/contacts that would help me in the UK with obtaining and shipping one...
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance with this project...
Cheers,
Jim

A lot of tables have gone to the States over the years, so there must be tables sold occasionally.
Difficult for you to buy one from over here without seeing it and the slates are very fragile on the traditional width table to survive transportation.
Would not be a cheap option but you might talk to my friend Ivor at www.bar-billiards.com/ He's one of the very few that knows what he is doing with bar billiards tables.

That's what we refer to as a 'Narrow' Sams table. It's what the Suffolk boys often use and is four inches narrower than what we like to think of as mainstream tables,
The bulbous height adjusters are missing from the bottom of the legs, though these would not be difficult to make, especially if the screw plates are still on the bottom of the legs.
Underneath that hideous coating is a lovely mahogany table.
Ridiculous price though! |

Agree with Sav, longer and narrower than a 'normal' bar billiards table and you would find it far from 'user friendly' if you're used to a normal game. Also, I reckon this one's priced at about 6 times over the odds.  You're right to check under 'snooker and pool' though as occasionally good tables get advertised under that category by mistake. |

I did not like that paint job either but just did a quick search to show there was at least one available here. I got mine for less than 1/10 that price.
