It's likely from somewhere between 1930 and 1970. I know, that's a 40-year span.

I am basing that on the age estimates of similar Sams bar billiards tables from those who refurbished them:
1. From the seller:
  
  Our refurbisher estimates the date is probably 1950s but we cannot be 100% sure of this. Certainly 1930s - 1960s.
2. From the seller:
  
  We estimate that the table was originally made by Sams Brothers circa 1965.
Sorry I can't place it more narrowly. I don't have access to any Sam's Bros brochures or catalogs to reference.

Also, check out these great photos of this very similar Sam's Bros bar billiard table that was auctioned a while back. No age or original date was listed for this table, but thought you'd be interested in seeing it nonetheless.
