Model ID for a 1900s Brunswick Monarch Cushion Pool Table

I have a Brunswick "Monarch Cushion" pool table from the early 1900s era.

Where might I find the etching of the model number?

Can you please tell me what model it is?

Thank you!

    It's hard to tell from just this one photo because I can't really see the sides of the pool table.

    However, I believe it's a Brunswick "Southern" pool table, circa 1890 to 1911.

    Here's the info from the 1908-1909 Brunswick Balke-Collender Co. pool table catalog:

    Brunswick Southern Pool Table

    • Years of manufacture: 1890 to 1911
    • Color Options: Golden Oak

    Sizes

    • 8 foot "home" - 44" x 88" Playfield, 3 pc. 1" thick unframed slate, weight 1100 lbs.
    • 9 foot "pro" - 50" x 100" Playfield, 3 pc. 1" thick unframed slate, weight 1200 lbs.

    This style is deserved popular for the medium grade of billiard room, especially cigar stores, barber shops, etc.

    Manufactured under 18 constructions patents awarded from 1892 to 1905.

    A very substantial billiard or pool table of thoroughly good construction. Has been a prime favorite in the medium grade of billiard room for many years. Furnished with Monarch quick cushions. First quality Vermont slate.

    The "Southern is made in two sizes, 4x8 and 4 1/2x9 and furnished as carom and pool, or both combined. It is carried in stock in a golden oak finish. It is fitted with our celebrated monarch Quick cushions and supplied with a complete playing outfit of good quality.

    All combination tables have our patent adjustable carom plugs with iron fastenings.

    All tables are fitted with Vermont slate beds from our own quarries and the incomparable patent Monarch Cushions.

    Made in sections so that the framework forming the body of the table can be taken apart for shipment. The various parts are doweled and reinforced with massive iron bolts which obtain durability and rigidity.
