| St. Bernard Mission 4 leg model From the 1908-1909 Brunswick Balke Collender Co. catalog, page 32: "No Billiard Room too fine for this table." A recent production in artistic Mission billiard tables. Produced under 18 construction patents awarded from 1892 to 1905 The St. Bernard Mission style of construction and finish is by reason of its simplicity, plainness and substantial appearance, well adapted to billiard room uses, especially for hotels, clubs and private residences. The table is thoroughly well built from solid oak and finished in the conventional Old Mission color without polish or luster. The slate bed is best quality Vermont one in thick, the sections being joined with brass dowels and sockets. No screw holes on the playing surface. Can be furnished with slate 1 1/2" in thickness where desired, at a small advance in cost. The cushions are the celebrated quick acting Monarch, guaranteed the most perfect angle cushion in the world. Used by all professional players in America and Europe. The cushion rails are of extra heavy construction and firmly bolted to the slate bed. In all of our high grade tables, what is termed a "blind cushion rail" is made use of, that is the bolts holding the cushion rails to the slate bed are concealed by woodwork. This eliminates the cheap appearing ornamental bolt caps and gives greater weight to the cushion rail, which means better results from the cushions. The cushion rail tops are veneered with rosewood, which does not change color, cannot be easily disfigured with lighted cigars and does not have the objectional features of a varnish finish. Either size table can be furnished in combination style if desired. |
