Hi all,
I am having to sell my table as we are due to move house and it just won't fit in!!! I have considered storing the table - but it just doesn't feel right.
The table is a Burroughes and Watts and was made for Orme and Sons. This is a 3 skittle table. It is a solid mahogany table, which I have cleaned up. So here are the basic details:
- The slate is good, with no cracks
- The table has the original levelers on each of the legs
- The cloth is okay but does have some sun bleaching on the left hand side of the table.
- The pockets are okay, but I have a spare set of the pocket rings that will go with the table (as I had not intention of selling the table) - from Sav. The 200 is lifted very slightly, but I hadn't got to adjusting this.
- The timer is working okay, I have taken it fully apart and it has brand new springs in (from Sav), so is running well.
- The ball bar is working fine.
- There is no connection to the payment slot to the timer
- The table will come with a full set of balls, the skittles (new from Ivor) and a set of mushrooms if you want to play 4 skittle - this is a 3 skittle table though.
- The return tray is not the original and looks like it has come off a Riley table. The original was less ornamental so I suspect that this must have been changed for looks only.
- There will be 4 cues (one has been cut down), 2 of the cues are Burroughs and Watts (single piece cues), 1 a Riley (2 piece but is slightly warped) and an unnamed single piece cue.
- The score board is EA Clark & sons and is not the original.
- As I cleaned the table, I have remarked all the points with original Riley markers (from Ivor) and pegged with brass escutcheon pins
- The leatherette at the end of the table would benefit from changing, but is okay and using at the moment.
Overall this is a really good table and I am gutted to sell. Apart from the return tray, score markers and the scoreboard this is an original table.
I am looking for offers around £850, I can send more photos if anyone wants and/or your are more than welcome to view.
I live in Welton, which is East Yorkshire.
