I have noticed in the last few years that many billiard manufacturers have only assembled their tables. They bought the parts for it from other companies. This was done in many countries. For example, one can find the Brunswick Anniversary as a model with small changes both in Mexico and in Spain. The latter under the name Cuevas. The name Brunswick does not appear here. The components are identical and so are the materials. An old German billiard table factory, known as Kiesewetter, which no longer exists today, often bought its finished parts from suppliers in the 1950s and 1960s. I suspect that Irving Kaye has also served other companies as suppliers. There no longer seem to be any records of this, but I have seen tables from other manufacturers that have exactly the same interior as an Apollo. I add a few photos from a table built in Germany. Perhaps Irving Kaye even manufactured for other prefabricated components and supplied them as the foundation for a basic kit. By the way, here too there are only 12 diamonds.
