Handsomely figured golden oak and mahogany. Manufactured under 18 construction patents awarded between 1892 and 1905. The 5x10' size is also made with six legs. Of all the many elegant designs of high-grade billiard tables originated by us, none have found more lasting favor with the general public than the Saratoga. It is not the highest price table that we make, but it is thoroughly first class in construction and finish.The design is both handsome and unique. This table has been extensively imitated by other manufacturers who have copied in appearance only. In construction that have met with what to them has been insurmountable difficulties. The slate bed is best quality Vermont one inch thick. Can be furnished with slate 1 1 /2" in thickness, when desired, at a small advance in cost. The sections of slate are joined together with brass dowels and sockets, entirely eliminating screw holes in the slate bed. 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. The cushion rail tops are veneered with rosewood, which does not change color, cannot be easily disfigured and does not have the objectionable features of a polished surface. The usual method of construction is reinforced with heavy iron bolts holding the frame work to the head blocks and legs, producing a species of rigid bridge work and staple durability which will make a table of this class last a lifetime and give good service. From the 1899 Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company catalog, page 50: The Saratoga is the very nonpareil of billiard tables. The design is both handsome and unique. The lower ends of the massive, square-formed legs have an egg and dart molding, the whole being surmounted by a plain molded cap. The sides are convex in shape, producing a handsome and tasteful effect, while a superbly carved frieze in modern renaissance runs along the edge, presenting an exquisite relief to the smooth, polished surface above. The bottom of the face of the rail has egg an dart moldings. The table is esteemed one of the best for high class club houses and other leading social resorts to be procured in the country. It is usually made in quarter-sawed oak or mahogany, but purchasers can have the table manufactured in any wood they may choose. Furnished either as a carrom or pool table, or both combined. All combination tables have our patent adjustable carrom plugs, with iron fastenings. The legs, besides being joined with wooden dowels, are fastened with a long iron bolt passing through the entire length of the leg to the top of the head block, thus insuring positive solidity. All tables are fitted with Vermont slate bed from our own quarries, imported Simonis cloth, and the incomparable patent Monarch cushions. Photo: Manual: Not available Local pickup.
