Looking for Help Identifying a Possible Brunswick Pool Table

8/29/2026 5:45:29 PM

I need some help identifying an 8 1/2 foot antique pool table. The maker, model, and year are unknown, but it does have an "A.E. Schmidt" nameplate.

It could possibly be a Brunswick pool table.

Here’s what I know:

Construction/Materials:

It has a quarter-sawn oak body, rails, and legs. The wood features strong ray-fleck/tiger-stripe grain
It features a blocky, reeded/stepped leg design
It has sunburst-pattern brass rosette bolt caps spaced along all rails

Pockets:

Rail Numbering:

Numbers appear individually branded one-by-one (burned/charred into the wood, not stamped or inked)
One sequence on the long rails: 110756
A different sequence on the short rails: 112158

Nameplate:

There is an A.E. Schmidt Co. (St. Louis) brass nameplate on one rail, but I believe this reflects a later rail replacement or re-felting service rather than the original manufacturer. The rest of the table’s construction (branded numbers, rosette bolts, rope-net pockets) doesn’t match typical A.E. Schmidt house style from what I can tell.

I’ve attached close-up photos of the rosette bolt caps, the branded rail numbers, the pocket/netting style, and the A.E. Schmidt nameplate.

Does anyone recognize the branding style, rosette pattern, or pocket construction well enough to point me toward a maker, model, or approximate era?

Any help identifying this, or other guidance on what other features to photograph, would be greatly appreciated.
