Identify Pool Table Better Mass Made Equipment Custom Built in Kinston, NC
I am trying to find out information on antique pool table that I own. I have had this pool table for over 50 years and believe it was about 50 years old when I bought it.
It has a slate top, leather drop pockets, and is a dime pay coin operated pool table. The markings say:
"Better Mass Made Equipment Custom Built in Kinston, NC"
Looking forward to hearing from anyone with any information.

@ghuiet - I have the same "Better Mass Made Equipment" pool table and can't find any information. The earliest place of origin I can find is Mansfield, GA in the 1960s. That was the last time it was restored so I know its older than 1960s.

I recently found a Better Mass-Made pool table in Statesville, NC and restored it.
It is an oversize 8' with a 1" single piece slate.
These pool tables were made from late 1930s through the 1950s.
It plays great!
