    I've been trying to identify this table and have come up empty even after going through old Brunswick catalogs and several other manufacturers.

    It's approximately 3×6 (32" × 64" playing surface) and has traditional horizontal T-rail bolts: four on each long side and three on each end. I removed one rail bolt and it measures about 4.1" × 3/8". The square head has a threaded center hole for the decorative brass florette/rosette.

    It has leather-covered pocket irons, square-head pocket hardware, only two sights per long rail and none on the ends, and an unusual wooden gravity ball-return system leading to a coin-operated gate. The original brass instruction plate is still present.

    The weird part: the current bed isn't slate. It appears to be an old composition/hardboard material, yet the 3/8" T-rail bolts definitely thread into metal anchors at bed level. There are also vertical holes drilled into the wooden frame directly below every rail-bolt location.

    I'm beginning to wonder whether this was originally an older 3×6 slate T-rail table that was later converted to a lighter composition bed and coin operation, but that's only a theory.

    Does anyone recognize the 4-long/3-end T-rail configuration, florettes, pocket irons, or ball-return construction? Even identifying one component could crack this.

    EDIT: Looks like the ball return system is not original to the table. It does appear that the table originally had a ball return, just not this one. This one was prrobably added when the coin mech was. If I could date this ball return, I would at least know the latest date the table would be from. Anyone seen this weird add-on system before?
