Need Help with a Brunswick-Balke Collender Pool Table ID
This Brunswick Balke-Collender pool table was left in the house that we purchased and I need help identifying it.
The plate on the pool table says Brunswick and the slate is also stamped with "Brunswick New York".
It is an 8-foot pool table in oak and has the bolts on the side of table. It looks like the Brunswick Wellington or Brunswick Newport models but the legs of the table do not seem to match.
Can you assist with identifying this Brunswick pool table?

It seems most like the Brunswick Balke-Collender Eureka pool table model, circa 1900-1903 roughly.
The leg detail matches entirely, except the parts next to the floor, which I strongly believe were added after purchase. These pool tables often came out of bars or pool halls, and of course the bottoms of the legs get badly dinged and beat up from mopping, sweeping, etc. Trim on the legs near the floor was sometimes added as a refurbishment service.
Here's the Brunswick Eureka pool table from the 1902 catalog:
