Identify My Gandy Pool Table
It is a Gandy pool table from the late 1970's or early 1980's.
I bought it in 1985 for $500, and the pool table installer said that it was worth $2,000 new and would be worth about $1,200 used at that time.
The former owner said it was a "Gandy Junior Miss" pool table or something to that effect.
I can find no information about it on the web.
The wood is not natural but more of a pressboard. It is very heavy though and the frame is quite solid although it is unconventional with its triple support type legs.
Gandy is out of business and the models I see of theirs are much more expensive than this.
The slate is 3 piece and thick. The pool table is 8x4 and might be oversize. I really don't know much about pool tables other than playing on them. The pockets seem to be very forgiving and are easier to pocket than ones in the pool hall.
Any info you might have on it would be appreciated. Thanks.
