In addition to that, and I don't know if this helps, the black leg trim skirt bit, one is peeling up, and I can see what looks like a red-colored wood under it (not the species "redwood", but rather, wood that has been colored red). The pocket liners look to be original from day one, and do not look like any replacement liners I have seen online. Everything else I see is metal when I look at pictures online. My trim, with the plugs to take the bumpers off, looks like it's old Bakelite, which would make me think 1960s again. I would wager it is from somewhere between the 1960s and the 1970s. The coin op (was able to get the panel off as it wasn't locked) looks to be pre-1980s for sure. One thing I did notice, is on the cue ball return side, there is another pocket for a diamond-shaped pool ball rack, and another long pocket which looks like you would use for cue storage.įrom all of the photos I've looked at online, I can't seem to find anything that matches the wood, those 2 extra pockets, the valley logo location, etc. Source: /docs/DateyourValleytable_006.pdf Valley-pool-table-serial-number-lookup.pdf I am unable to find a serial number anywhere on it, but if it has one, this could be helpful: What exactly do I have here? It looks like a standard Valley Cougar pool table, but it looks a lot older. I don't want to just stick a pry bar on it. It's either locked, or wedged in super hard. I can't get the door off because I don't have a key. The coin mechanism is gone, but if it's worth doing anything more with, I would like to get the right coin mechanism and have it work (if it's worth it). There seems to only be a few chips in the veneer and most of the poor condition, to me, looks like it could be taken care of with a good cleaning, new felt, new bumpers, and new pocket liners. I'm just wondering if it's worth the money to restore it? I've build arcades before, but never opened up a pool table. But, so far, it looks like a Valley Model 35 pool table in Walnut. I guess you can decode some information by the serial number, didn't think about that. We have a decent shop in town, I figured they could take a look. I don't know how to properly check the slate or anything. I can clearly see it has damage, but was told the slate was good. I paid the guy a few bucks to hold the pool table for me sight-unseen. I used to play a lot of bar pool, and I like the 7' bar pool tables. 12:31:47 AM ID Model and Age of Old Valley Coin-Op Pool Table
