My father was part owner of a pool hall in Milwaukee in the mid 1960s. They had 20 Kaye tables; nineteen pocket billiards and one billiard table.

There were five tables in each of these colors – red, blue, green and orange on the sides. These were the 4.5′ by 9′ oversize Ambassador model.

I recall the tables had three 1.5″ slate sections which weighed around 100# each (maybe more). It took two people to move them.

I cleaned the place every Sunday and got to play afterwards. I prefer these to any other table. The other pool halls in the city all had Brunswick tables.

I still know where one or two of these tables are, and when they become available, I’m going to get one.
