Identify Version of Fischer Cavalier Pool Table (V, VII, VIII, etc.)

Does anyone know which version this Cavalier pool table is? I.E.: V, VII, VIII.

I think I have the same one as Fischer Cavalier pool table shown in this other question.

I can find hardly any info on it. I grew up playing on ours. I was born in 1971. My dad got it from his uncle back in 1973 or 1974.

I would love to know exact model or see an advertisement for it, or a build sheet with specs.

It is now in our basement getting some TLC. New felt comes next week.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

   Until you asked this question, I thought the roman numerals signified different generations of the Cavalier pool table model.

   However, after some further research I don't think this is correct.

   I think those roman numerals indicate the size, based on a Fischer brochure for another model.

   • VI = 6-foot model
   • VII = 7-foot model
   • VIII = 8-foot model

   

   I could still be wrong about this and I've reached out to a former Fischer employee for more info. No idea when (or even if) they'll get back to me.

   Regarding the Fischer Cavalier pool table brochure, I believe I shared it with you a few years back in a previous question you had posted when you were trying to initially identify the pool table:

   The brochure I posted in my answer to that question is currently the only one I have.

   Do you have a copy of the brochure you can scan me? I want to blow it up and have it in a frame as wall art. Great research by the way. Thanks

   Unfortunately, I do not. The photo I have was sent to me a long time ago, and I no longer recall where I got it from.

   I will tell you that various Fischer pool table brochures come up all of the time for sale on eBay. Create an alert for yourself there.

   By the way, I think these came out in mid-1698. Here's an ad from a May 30, 1958 Detroit, MI newspaper listing the Fischer Cavalier with the heading: "New from Fischer":

   

   There are ads like this for the Fischer Cavalier found throughout newspapers right up through the end of 1978.

   Also, apparently, one could choose from either a marble or slate playfield bed.

   Seeing as your are looking for some interesting wall-art to hang in your game room, here's a cool Fischer Cavalier ad from April 12, 1974 Fort Worth Star-Telegram (and I emailed you a high-res .png version as well):

   Those are so cool.

   Yeah I noticed the underside of my slate has a bunch of numbers, but a couple that stand out are 5, 74.

   I'm assuming that's the date of manufacture.

   I'd love a high res PNG version of that Fischer Cavalier "hustler" ad, if you still have it.

   My dad just bought a Fischer Cavalier pool table and he is so proud of it.

   A framed print of this would make an excellent Christmas gift!

   @user1699642015 - I've emailed you with the print-ad you requested above!

   Incredible, thank you so much!
