Does anyone know how much this thing is worth?
This one sure brings back some memories, I was involved in many shuffleboard tournaments back in the 60's & 70's. I see these on ebay for around 3 grand, but not selling. Realistically 8 to 12 hundred would be my guess.
Sure wish I had the room for one.
I love the logo and signage art from back in the day!! Neat old game table. I know nothing about the game of shuffleboard and couldn't help but notice the letters A and C on the game pieces, and on the white emblem/sign but they don't match each other, nor do they match the A or C in the company's brand logo. Are they meant to represent brand, or are they traditionally A and C in the game itself. Please enlighten me if you know the answer. Thanks!
I just seen one at a Local Auction that sold for 1800.00. Neat old Game! Dave
Your board was built in New Jersey and replicas of the original design can be found even today. I have a sister to your table built in 1941 and spent a year restoring it. I have the score board but not the pucks. Let me know if you want to sell them. I can also send you pictures of what the board can look like restored. under all that wear is canadian rock maple and a lot of history. How long is it?
I was searching the web and came across this. Did you find out what it is worth? I have the EXACT same table that I got from my Grandmother and I just restored it and was curious on the value.
