   I have been looking into identifying the model of your 1990s Brunswick pool table.

   Depending on when you bought it, you either have:

   1. A Brunswick Dakota pool table. They were made from 1991 to 1994.
   2. A Brunswick Dakota II pool table. They were made from 1996 to 1999.

   As of 1999, the published retail pricing was as follows:

   • 7', 3/4" unframed slate - $2,249
   • 7', 1" framed slate - $2,499
   • 8', 3/4" unframed slate - $2,299
   • 8', 1" framed slate - $2,549
   • 9', 1" framed slate - $3,149

   Below is the information from the 1992 Brunswick Billiards dealer sell sheet pertaining to first generation Dakota pool tables (1991-1994). The Brunswick Dakota II was mostly the same.
