| International Produced from 1898 to 1906 in an oak finish and in either 10 or 12 foot sizes. From the 1898 Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. catalog, page 10: As may be seen, the International table is without superfluous ornamentation. It is plain but very attractive in design and finish. Being furnished with six legs, it has the appearance of massive solidity that characterizes the larger size English billiard tables, but is decidedly more modern in detail, construction and finish. It is made in 5x10 and 6x12 sizes only. The woodwork is quarter-sawed oak, but it can be built in any finish desired. The slate bed is extra heavy and thick. The joints are doweled together with brass fittings. Screw holes to attach the slate to the framework of the table are therefore unnecessary, the bed being perfectly smooth on top without the necessity for plaster of paris or cement filling of any kind. This improvement in conjunction with the additional legs with which the table is fitted combines in producing an exceptionally solid and substantial billiard table. The International is furnished as a carom or pool or both combined. It can be provided with the outfit for the English game of Canons, or the ordinary billiard or pool outfit. The patent adjustable cushion rails can be used in conjunction with this table to very excellent advantage. These tables are fitted with Vermont slate bed from our own quarries, imported Simonis cloth, and the incomparable patent Monarch cushions. |
